How much battery drain is OK on E30?



I have an 89 325 which needs to be jump started or trickle charged if 
not driven in two weeks time.

The battery was recently replaced.  The current drain for the parked 
car is 45mA.  30mA of this seems to be used by fuse #21, which powers 
the OBC. Couldn't determine the user of the remaining current by 
simply pulling the engine compartment fuses.

So...is 45mA normal battery drain?  Shouldn't I expect the car to 
start after two weeks in the driveway?

Drained,


Jonathan
