BMW 5 will not start after being stopped for 6 months

Hi all, I have a 2014 BMW 5 Series with 140,000 km on it and I am running into a problem. The car hasn't been started for 6 months and now it won't start, even after trying to run power to it. Has anyone experienced anything similar or have any ideas what could be causing this problem? I would appreciate any advice or suggestions on how to proceed. thanks in advance!

Check the battery connections for corrosion or looseness, as this can prevent the car from starting. Clean and tighten them if necessary. If the battery is old, it might need replacement. Let me know how it goes or if you have further questions!

Good day, After 5 months of not starting, my 2009 BMW 5 series had a dead battery. Put a new one in and now I get a "check engine soon" warning. Reset doesn't help. Drive a lot or is it something else?
