Default E60 no life signs

It doesnt have any life signs at all, had to use key to unlock the door, when putting in the key for ignition no lights on dashboard comes up, no nothing.. The battery is fresh new, bought one month ago, what could be wrong? Bmw e60 2005.

Check your fuses behind the glove compartment.

Have you double checked the battery installation, given it was done not long before this failure? Also that the battery is charged.

Side note... they say that to charge the e60 battery while it's in the car you should do it via the jump points at the front, not via the terminals at the battery itself.

Step 1. Measure the battery voltage.
