Open the hood and note the red cover with a + on it and the 3/4 inch metal stud atop the strut tower.
The charger's RED clip/clamp connects to the bolt under the RED cover. The charger's black clip/clamp connects to the stud.
You may have to use the physical key to open the door if the battery is to low to poperate the lock.
You'll need to wait an hour our two, maybe more depending how dead the battery is before attempting to start. Do not try and start with charger is attached. It probably is not designed to "jump start".

Suggest you call the telephone number on the placard in the boot ( trunk) or owner's portfolio for BMW Assist.
