2003 bmw 5 series no crank, good battery

Hello,

This drill weekend I towed a 03 BMW 5 series about 100 miles back to the owners home. It's a well kept 5 series, with 130k on it.

Battery has power, but we hooked up jumper cables just because, and no change.

Key turns in ignition, but will NOT crank the vehicle. No mechanical noises like the starter attempts to turn, no sparks, nothing. Same story if we put it into park or neutral, attempting to rule out the nss.

We towed the car home, and the dealership dx fee on a no crank condition is 1hr at $130 per hour MIN.

Any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
Thank you!
~Nate
