I wonder if you're headlamp switch is defective, if indeed that really was the root cause. You might want to have the dealer check.
I had the same problem with my 06 750i with the comfort access door handles draining the battery (got a new battery out of it as well). They replaced all 4 handles twice under warranty until problem was solved (1st time @ 26k and 2nd time @ 42k). It was only problem I had in 130k of usage. I will not purchase comfort access again.
