No dash lights , no ignition, no nothing

Hello everybody.

Please be patient in reading this. I also apologize for my english.
I have an incredible problem with a E61 from 2009/04.It started like this. I was driving on the highway while it was rainig "bad". My car just suddenly died . The key was stuck in the key slot, and nothing from there. When I started checking some thing's I've noticed that all the fuse's in the front had curent but not the one's in the trunk. i took out the relay behind the glove box and put it back and the fuses fuses in the back had current again and the key pop out the slot key..From there on, I had no luck what so ever. There are no dash lights when I insert the remote into the key slot, no ignition when I press the start stop button, no display image, no central locking, no working windows, the sunroof dosen't worc,etc. When the key is inserted and the interior lights are on no button work's in the car, just the hazard lights. She's just dead.

The things that work on the car are the following:

1. interior lights
2. headlights light up
3. radio

When I insert the remote control into the slot and i press twice the start/stop button only the headlight's light up.

The thing's I checked:

1. power distribution box in the back
2. fuse box behind the glove box
3. positive battery cable
4. negative battery cable
5. IBS
6. ignition switch
7. CAS
8. slot key
9. KGM - body module and KBM
10. battery
11. DDE
12. all the wiring between start stop button / slot key / CAS, CAS / KGM /DDE , IBS / CAS
13. all relay's
14. terminal 30 / 30g-f / KL. 15WUP wire. (reley's)
15. fuses of cource.
16. link's to the starter / alternator
17. all the positive cable's that go from the back to the front
18. ground's

The thing's I replaced in the car:

ALL THE THING'S THAT I'VE CHECKED. Except for the terminal's of cource.

DID I miss something.well something sure is wrong.It wont BUDGE.

Thank you for reading. maybe you the great community can help. Please I'm desperate. BIG TIME. Hope to find the problem,

Thank you again.

At this point, I would just take it to a dealer or an indy that specializes in BMWs.

If the build date was April of 2009, the car is still under warranty assuming you don't have more than 50k miles on it. It will be expiring soon so I would get it in asap.

Did u try a new battery ? Also check the charging relay in the trunk fuse box ? its a black 1inch x 1inch square fuse,, possibly whent bad and stopped charging ur battery while driving and killed ur battery... U said it was raining hard.. by any chance did u check the spare tire compartment and see if u have any water in there ?.. Possibly frying ur modules, look in there if u havent.. Hopefully thats not it..

i have a new battery, i checked the spare tire compartment. i checked the relay, the fuse box, and all of this components. i had the car at a BMW service for a week and they dind't found anything.
