hello everybody.
yesterday i wanted to go for a ride with my s but when i turned the key to on possition nothing happend .no lights no indications , nothing.
i tried to start the engine by conecting wires from my wifes car battery but this didnt do anything.
today i placed a new battery but still when i turn on the key it looks like even the new battery is empty.
do you have any idea of what this could be?

 

Rather than guessing or assuming the battery is "empty", why don't you just take a voltmeter to it and measure it? I suppose it's possible you had 2 completely dead batteries, but it's more likely you have some other problem.
Bad battery cables, bad ignition switch, etc.
Do your interior lights come on when you open the door? Make sure the light switch is in the correct position.

Measure the voltage at the battery so you can eliminate the battery as the cause of the problem.
