Connect it up to a charger and see what happens after 24 hours. Or else get a jump start and go for an hour drive to charge it up. Then when you park it, connect it to the charger to top up the battery charge level.
BTW, is this the 2003 X5 and is it on it's original battery? If so 7 years is pretty darn good.

Yeah, I have no problem if it's just an old battery. That I can replace. It's just weird that it died so quickly and with no warning. At least it was sitting in my driveway at the time.
Thanks for the reply. Was pretty sure I could get in with the key, but just wanted to check. I'll jump it tomorrow and get it to my indie. Need to get the snows off and a taillight replaced anyway.
