You might want to consider trying this. Just below the battery on the firewall closest to front of the car there is a distribution block. If you put your meter in between the positive terminal and each individual wire/wireset (removing them one-by-one) you might find that your drain is coming from the alternator or fuse box or starter. I know when my 190E's alternator went it produced a large draw on the battery.
