I have a similar problem on my 1998 5 series wagon. It sounds like something (a fan or motor of some sort) is running behind the radio/AC unit heads. Whatever it is kills my battery if the car is not run for a week. I have isolated it to fuse number 4 in the glove box fuse box. If I'm not going to drive the car for several days, I remove fuse number 4 and whatever is running stops.

You don't unless you are parked with the engine running. If you are parked and you want the engine running but don't want the daytime running lights on just shut the car off and set the parking brake then start the car back up. The lights should remain off until you release the parking brake.

Leaving the lights on can drain the car's battery, leading to difficulty starting the vehicle. The battery may not have enough power to start the engine after being drained by leaving the lights on for an extended period.

Depends on what you plan on doing with it. For power use while you're parked I suggest taking it directly from the battery (or running that to a splitter [for a separate trailer battery] - relay preferred - so that you don't kill the car battery overnight).
