Yes, batteries can have a 'stroke' and die. The shoddy installation is no surprise - the 'tech' probably only received .2 of a labor hour from start to finish.
Interesting note. BMW battery replacement is quite involved. You have to 'register' the new battery to the vehicle via scan tool. The idea is the electrical system tailors the charge rate and duration as needed for the age. Also indicates to the owner when the battery is end of its useful life so replacement can be anticipated prior to complete failure.
That's why that job is so pricey
