You can leave the car parked for days. That won't deplete the battery.
What depletes the battery is driving short distances. You can drive your car every day to work. If it's a 5 minute commute, your battery will go low. You need a battery tender if your commute is short.
I have DEFA.

GF's typical commute is about 36 miles of highway which takes approximately 35-40 minutes door to door. I wouldn't consider that a "short" commute.
In fact, my 2014 335i is driven shorter distances because I have a work car on the weekends and it is doing better on its original battery. |
Definitely not normal then. Hope they figure it out. Let us know what they find out.
EDIT: I just realized you are not the OP. Hopefully OP will chime in.
