Your solution to turn everything off by pressing the lock button on the key fob is sort of like telling someone that they need to remove the rear view mirror if someone doesn't like getting blinded by headlights from someone behind them who has their high beams on.

What I have in mind for a scenario that seems more equivalent would be: turn everything off by pressing the lock button on your key fob; sort of like how you turn the tv off by pressing a button on the remote as you walk away.
But maybe you should just keep a small tool kit in the car and simply remove the iDrive cluster from your dash before exiting the vehicle. This will provide the greatest assurance that it is entirely off and it’s really not any more work than simply pressing a button anyway, apparently.

Lmao. I mean it’s the best solution. Just lock your car when you get out if you don’t want it to do what BMW decided it should.
Perhaps if the car senses the fob near when you haven’t locked it, then it stays in that mode until it decides you’re not coming back yet.
I generally don’t lock my car when I get home so I may need to remember this thread and lock it
