went solid and car died...it said safe mode but was in traffic, so misssed the

thinking alternator, get back to car it starts immediately..yeah...get home. Try
to leave dead, won’t start. Pulled new batter, charged to 100% as it only
showed 50 on charger..replaced battery car starts but has lights on several
dash indicators. Went to oreillys tested alternator, test 1 bad diodes, test 2&3
alternator good. Read codes, air filter I have numbers  but reset codes now
dead. Ignition isnt even wanting to recognize it’s turned unless
jiggled.....never had that before..please help I’m lost and tried all little things I
can find on net

With my ignition now acting up could it be the ignition switch. I can’t get it to cycle at all now it turns but doesn’t recognize position 2 or start

Did this ever get figured out? I have read that if you replace the battery in the car, the dealer, or a shop with a BMW computer needs to code the battery into the system.
