Default Need help asap, car will not start.

Left the house drove about 25 minutes to my destinaton, car sat for about 30 min. Go to start car, nothing comes on. No lights, radio, no nothing. Only idrive message before I turned car off, was low washer fluid. It has no power at all, like the battery is disconnected. Car is 05 545i.

Check the battery terminals for loose wire(s).
If you have a voltmeter/multimeter, test the battery voltage across the terminals. Very likely the battery is dead. Recharge the battery and see if will come back alive.

Don't be one of those "grab n go" guys. We are interested to see what the fix was, report back.
