E93 m3 not starting no electronics working PLEASE HELP

HI ALL,
I left my 2011 E93 M3 parked for about 2 hours
when i came back i heard my alarm was on i try unlocking the door with the remote control but no luck i had to open the door manually with the key then the alarm shut off.
i insert the key and press start stop but nothing comes on.. no electric..no dashboard lights nothing next i jump start the car for about 15 minutes and still no reaction nothing is turning on what should i do?
the car seems completely dead.. maybe i left the car door open? and it drained the battery?
anyhow it is not turning on whatsoever not even the dashboard lights
if anyone could help i would really appreciate it
I do not have access to the trunk as there is no key hole

I had this happen to me very recently and it was very annoying especially after I had roadside assistance tell me my battery was perfectly fine.

I had the IBS cable replaced but that didn't fix it. For me when I went to use comfort access it would trigger the car alarm. I've started using the keyfob to unlock only.

Try this:

* open up the fuse box and push every fuse in
* wiggle the battery cable connecting to the fuse box as it might have gotten corroded
* disconnect IBS cable - see if power comes back. All you need to do is unplug the small jumper like wire.

My problem didn't come back after I messed with the fuse box. Fuse box is in the glove compartment by the way. You'll know you've fixed it because all the cars electronics will suddenly wake up

Also some people had an issue where their EDC module went bad and was applying a voltage to the wake up line. You could try disconnecting that to see if you get power restored too.

Good luck, there seems to be a bunch of us starting to see this issue.
