2011 x5m died

My car died on me yesterday. Car cranks but doesnt fire.
Had a hell of a time getting it on the tow truck, cant get it into Neutral from Park. The tow truck driver had to winch it up on there, so its at the dealer now.
Probably some electronic problem???

Is this not the symptom of the failing battery in these cars? I also have a 2011 x5 m. Looking to know cause. Good luck, OP.

Dealer called this evening and diagnosed it as a failed low pressure fuel pump. They are getting one in tomorrow to replace the failed one...

That's no biggie, I had a sparkplug #5 die on me within the first month lol These things happen... What was more terrifying was the warning for "REDUCED POWER OUTPUT"!!!! That's what freaked me out lol
