What is your question?
The battery was dead about a month.

Hello, Your vehicle is sensitive to the battery charge. If it detects the cranking amps are a little low or the voltage is slightly low, that's enough. BMW is pretty well known for this. After sitting for a month, have the battery tested and slow charged by an auto parts store. Also, I've seen them fail to start with batteries that test good as well.
If the battery goes dead or is disconnected to install a new battery,then the vehicles computer system must be reset, contact your service specialist. see owners manual.
The procedure for the battery after replacement is a quality control measure for BMW use. It does not effect the vehicle in any way as the batteries are exact replicas. You should, however, clear the fault memory, and that can be done with a regular OBD-2 code reader. I have never seen one fail to start without resetting the fault memory.
