2001 BMW X5 All Wheel Drive Automatic 125000 miles

couple days ago was too cold here in Edmontonit was -44 with the wind, I tryed to start the car, but it didn't after couple tries I left it till the after noon, then I tryed again, the suv start so I left it running for 15 minutes, then I went back to shut it off but I didn't deciding to warm up more, 5 minutes later I came back the car was off by it self. I tryed to start it over but it didn't. Than I noticed after many tries the battery is gone dead. I went to the dealership and I purchased a brand new battery, I installed it and was happy that all lights and dash all back then, I tryed to start it, surprisinglly it didn't, but the difference this time it only clicked once with dimming the light everytime I try. May you please tell me what the possible problem is so I can take it to repair shop knowing what it probablly the problem is.
Tahnks for the help. Tony

At -44 the battery is suspect. How old is the battery?
