He says they looked at it with their computer which can show exactly what accessory was on for how long and drew XXX milliamps and they see nothing out of the ordinary that could have caused the battery to die.
I did ask where in the owners manual I could find the correct shutdown procedure and they didn't know. I'll update after my educational session this afternoon.

Pushing the start button twice worked on our F25 models, but it has never worked for the G01 or the F97 lines. If iDrive doesn't shut off when you open the door just push and hold the radio on/vol button for a second or so and everything then shuts off (assuming you have a garage in a safe environs where you feel you don't want to lock it).
Sounds like you have a drain somewhere they just haven't identified?
