The system architecture of the E71 vehicles sometimes can be reactivated by doing what BMW calls a master battery reset.
It involves removing the negative lead at the battery and then touching the battery leads together to achieve what in computer parlance is called control/alt/delete
If there is no joy from this attempt, you may have a deeper issue that might require a trip to your BMW repair facility of choice.
