Dashboard rectangular backlight stays on?

Took deliver of my F10 a few days ago, I don't recall the rectangular backlight stays on all the time when I took delivery. Today I noticed this. It stays on even after the engines shut down. Is this normal or should I get BMWHK check it out?

Did you press the P on the gearbox before powering off the vehicle?

Yeah, just wanted to check if this is normal or something is faulty that I need to get it checked out. Because I didn't notice this before. I don't want to have it checked out and have the service guy tell me is normal when it is not. Thank you all in advance.

The normal thing for the car to do is, after you press the button to shut off the engine, iDrive stays on and rectangle box stay lit as if it were on standby mode.

Lock the door, both of them shut off and the parking brake light remains on for a while and it will shut itself after that.

Yes, but I thought the dash is completely black with only the number led up. I found this thread so I guess it is normal.

The black panel is another different thing.
