Well, you DO have another problem, beyond battery registration. A battery does not have to be registered, to start and run the car. Registration just tells the DME how much to tell the alternator to charge.
Did the car start BEFORE you replaced the battery? Are you communicating with the engine computer? Are there any faults in the CAS or DME?

During installation, did the battery cables get hooked up backwards, even for a second? In your computer diagram on ISTA, is the DME green, yellow, or red? How about the CAS? Can you talk to the DME?

Not good...the DME is missing in action. I'd start by checking all the fuses. You will not be starting the car until the DME comes back online. The trunk and alarm have nothing to do with this.

I bet the VCM SVT is screwed up (internal vehicle configuration). Happens on occasion with voltage fluctuations.
If you have esys, I would rewrite VCM svt with original. That would fix that situation.
The above-mentioned situation happened to me on my dad's X3 while I accidentally disconnected ICOM while it was still clearing codes in ISTA D.
What was funny is that he was there, and didn't freak out when all the lights in the world came on. The car did start though.. but nothing else worked correctly.

I doubt anything is fried, yet. But definitely chase down wires for shorts.
Do not attempt any programming, as it can screw things up more. Avoid blind trials.
Your codes suggest that the WUP line isn't working correctly. WUP is wake up line from FEM module. It is a simple 12V signal, telling modules to boot up. Keep in mind there are fuses on the FEM module as well.
You need to find out where that connector fits on the wiring diagrams, use ISTA for that. Then use the wiring diagram as a guide.

Regarding the esys procedure to restore SVT to the VCM (if needed), do not attempt it if you're not familiar with esys. If done incorrectly, you can make things worse.
ISTA will not recover VCM issues.

I'm sharing nothing more than a hunch here, based on how my own alarm behaves : the alarm went off not when you disconnected the negative terminal, but before that, when you opened the trunk. Disconnecting the terminal while the alarm was on might have triggered some kind of safety feature preventing the engine from starting.
How about syncing EWS (if that is linked to the alarm)?
How about a more rudimentary "procedure" (please don't laugh):
- connect your battery terminals
- open the trunk without unlocking the doors the same way you did the first time
- while the alarm is on and the trunk still open, unlock the doors
- close the trunk and lock up everything
- unlock and try starting the car.

Too much derailing going on here.
There is almost nothing similar from E46 to F30 electronically.
FEM module = CAS (+a few other consolidated modules inside). There is no cas-dme sync procedure, nor has there been one since ~2009 models.

This car needs to be looked over with ESYS for vehicle configuration data corruption, this is an extension of the previous thread, where many tried to help.
If you need help with that, I can look over it for you remotely when/if I get a moment, just ask.
The "test" about plugging in a plug means nothing. I wouldn't shotgun parts at it.

Sorry didn't mean to duplicate. Thought maybe it would be considered a different topic
Not a big deal either way, but same car (?) electrical/electronic issues....

Took it to an independent BMW shop and they weren't able to diagnose the issue and now it's at the dealership. Hopefully, they can figure it out
Anyone know?
If they dx that it's faulty I would think so. How do you know it's bad
The dealership called me and told me the DME was bad. The service advisor told me they were going to discuss it with the shop foreman and see if it's covered under warranty
CPO will cover a faulty DME. The DME is also covered by the 8 year/80k mile federal emissions warranty.

Did they say it was bad because it was red on ISTA?
What other modules were red on ista?

Prior to taking to the dealership just the DME was red. The dealership called me and said it looks like it's the DME

They said that they will fix it under warranty. Hopefully it solves the problem
