It's your FSR (Final Stage Resistor) Pack located under the dash. A bad FSR causes your heater fan to slowly cycle on and off at low speeds when the car is off leading to a dead battery in a few days. BMW redesigned this part some time ago. This is a common problem for the E39. Replace it and your problem will be solved.
