I was driving my car, I heard a clicking/ clunking noise in the engine sounded like the right side( my daughter said it kinda sounded like i was running over bottles and cans). Then the car completely lost power. It happened really quickly. My Battery is 1 month old. Had it registered to the car, newer fuel pump. When i disconnect the negative cable on battery i can get some voltage on the meter testers. But when i hook it back up its completely dead. Had to be towed home. I have check engine light came on. Abs light, parking break malfunction light as well. Just put 20 in the tank before this happened

Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I’m sorry to hear you're having trouble with your 745Li.
The first thing I would do is take a look under the car and see if you notice any leaks that might indicate damage. If there aren't any major leaks I would move on to getting the battery tested. Even though it is only 1 month old, you could still have a bad cell or an internal fault in the battery. Once you have a known good battery, I would start by scanning the car for codes. They may point you in the right direction.
