I'm currently unplugging it before i pass the car for parking to the attendant. This might have to be my way of life moving forward then. Not the worst thing in the world.
I'll report back after the weekend on what the results are after checking the taps again.

I think you are onto something as the key fob must be away from your X5M before the mirror tap power will "go to sleep". I have comfort access setup to lock when I leave the car, but do not have auto unlock enabled when I approach my car and the vehicle will still "wake up" again if I walk too closely to it in the garage with the fob in my pocket. This causes the radar to also wake up so I got in the habit of moving the fob out of my pocket and away from my X5M if I want the electronics to sleep while I detail the paint or say apply tire shine.
Good luck!
