2011 328i DEAD. Help

Hello,

Recently I just got my 2011 328i running again after frying my FRM. I got a new FRM and new battery (have not registered the battery yet, but drove less than 50 miles probably since new battery) It was running fine and I took it to the gym about a 6 minute drive and then I came back, I turned it on and after about 45 seconds while sitting in the parking lot the car died. And when I mean died I mean 0 functionally. The cars died before but always had a tiny bit of juice left. But none this time. The key is stuck in the ignition. I just tried to jump it and it had no response with jumper cables attached. I can’t even check the battery in the trunk because I have no power to open it. Any one have any insight on completely stumped. Thanks

Probably corrosion of the pos cable where it goes through the body. Just a guess though... you're gonna' have to get that trunk open to peak at it.
