Even after disabling the option in doors menu my car always turns off when I open my door eve while in car, does anyone have a solution?

What car do you have? Your info below your forum handle is listed as a VW Golf.

Ah yes, G31 LCI

Could be tied to start/stop functionality; put car into sport or sport individual and see what happens

[FrostNixon]

Yeah will try it, I also have a feeling it's because of the hybrid mode.

that setting in the Doors menu refers to the vehicle's electronics, not the engine. the engine turning off when opening the doors is a purposefully designed safety feature that prevents the chances of inadvertent roll-away. (the car can't roll away if the engine is off.)

there are workarounds. i believe shifting the gear lever to the left may keep the engine running. i've also read removing then buckling the seat belt behind you before opening the door may keep it running. another that may work is while in Hybrid drive mode, tap the accelerator pedal while holding down the brake pedal; this will start the engine (if it wasn't previously running). this last method works on my X5 45e, but i've not tried it on my 530e yet. try them and report back

For a 530e to keep the car running after turning it off. You have to depress the gas pedal while parked. That will turn the engine on. It will stay running and honk if locked to remind you that it is running.
