I'm not in any way skilled on electronics fault finding.
My understanding, if the car enters sleep mode (1 - 3 minutes); START STOP button illumination goes out. Illumination of child lock switch (green LED) on driver's door switch cluster goes out. It appears your vehicle may not be entering sleep mode. I wonder if something in your coding is now preventing it going into sleep mode. If not obvious in what you did, normal fault finding goes something like the following. Quote:

If I was to guess, you drained the battery down too far when coding the car. Charge up the battery (with an actual charger), and the problem will probably go away.

Mine had a similar issue when it was really cold outside, and I didn't drive it for a while. I'd get the "idrive is running with the car off" or something like that. I mentioned on my last service, and they did a software update for it. The "quick fix" was to recharge the battery.

The one error from the mirror definitely came after as my battery drained before i retrofit power folding mirrors but the one from light module might be there before as I did not realized , the thing is that all lights work as they should…

Still baffled why it took you a week to put a charger on it, when I mentioned above, that is a known issue. The whole car runs on electronics, they need power. If it isn't there, weird stuff happens, codes get tossed, the dash lights up like a Christmas tree.
Natively, the car won't charge the battery past ~75% under normal conditions as part of their efficiency dynamics. This allows capacity for they regenerative charging when getting off the throttle, etc. Pick the low hanging fruit on this one, if a charged battery isn't the issue, strike it from the list and move on to the next. |

If you look at your codes you grabbed, there is a list of things to check. If the right mirror is listed as faulty, unplug it see if the drain goes away. Same deal with the headlight if that is a suspected device.
