We talked about this in another post and I detailed lots of testing I've done - the car does some fancy sensing of which seats are occupied and links those to the doors. When the occupied seat doors are opened (all of them) only then will idrive turn off. Here's the problem, though. If you then open a door that was previously closed (which happens all the time when kids forget something), then the car will say Welcome XYZ and activate iDrive. If you still have your key in the car, I drive (and front /read headlights) will stay on forever. It's extremely frustrating to go into my garage at 1am and find that the headlights have been on since we last drove the car. The fix is to take they key out of the car, which I don't consider a fix. Instead, I will push the volume button down to turn off idrive and make sure mine is the last door I close in the car after everyone leaves.
