Sounds like the vehicle is not charging you may need a new alternator get the car going with jump leads again and test the voltage at the battery terminals with a DC volt meter expect 13.5-14.5 if you get less than 13.5 your alternator is bad or wiring fault also check the alternator belt is tight.

The first thing to do would be to check all fuses. Sometimes a very random blown fuse can cause this. Also unhook the battery for one hour to reset all systems, and try a jump start if you have not just to be sure it isn't a battery issue. Also try locking/unlocking the key driver's door a few times using the key in the door. If the fuses are good and the battery reset does not help, nor a jump or key in the door, then there are a few other things that can cause this such as bad key - try another one, bad brake light switch, the switch is above the brake pedal, shifter not fully in park (auto transmission only) - try moving it around a bit, bad transmission position switch, bad clutch switch, dead starter/solenoid/relay or bad ignition switch/cylinder/start button.

Certainly sounds like a lack of power in the battery.
Do you have a genuine BMW battery or a cheapie replacement?
Have you tried to jump start the vehicle.
Batteries can seem ok, but when called upon, the power drawn out of them can be insufficient.
Try charging battery and starting on the charger- or just jump start to see what happens

Your sterter is fried, get new one

It may be the problem of radio/CD, replace it. know more information of cars and auto diagnostic tool, it is good for protect car.

Hi rs11126,

If your charging system has a malfunction, you should see a red icon that shows a battery symbol with a - and + sign in your cluster. It has been used in most of BMW vehicles as a warning indicator.

check the fuses under the hod

If it makes no noise when you try to start it but the lights, radio, etc. all work, replace the starter.

after replacing the battery, battery replacement has to be registered in the power module.Newer bmw's can experience battery draw issues. usually after battery replacment the active steering has to be re-aligned. you can try turning the steering wheel lock to lock to see if that solves your problem (usually only works on older cars) if you can find a shop that has a GT1 (bmw's older diagnostic equipment) they should be able to reset the light. At the same time if the vehicle has a battery draw and the power module is disconnecting the battery when the charge level gets low,that is your root problem and you will end up with an active steering fault over and over
