I can take the glovebox out, but I would really need the lower dash piece (right side of glovebox) to come out as well. I was contemplating that.

To reiterate, the battery tested good and is the proper BMW unit coded by the dealer 2 years ago. No comfort access
Not 100% sure on the 1 series... actually come to think of it I think the radio needs to come out iirc to get the glove box out (the e90 is easier), but I'm sure you could access it if you take the dash lower cover off and reach your hands in. Yes if you voltage drop the fuses and you find any voltage on them then there is current running through. (We're talking .001-.002 volts)

Thing is you should really make sure there is a draw before going crazy... maybe take the cover off the back of the meter and check the fuses.
