    Stock radio? Sounds like its wired to a constant power source, rather than a switched ignition source.

      Since no E30 came with a radio that had a removable faceplate, this has to be an aftermarket radio. It being powered all time system says that it was improperly installed.
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
