If there was airbag deployment that does seem like the likely cause.
OP unless this was a big big rear end accident, the battery charge should not have tripped.

I would call it a "moderate" rear-end impact, given the visible damage. I compare this to a prior read-end collision in her previous Acura TSX, where the trunk was pretty much gone and the rear-window smashed, but the car was still drivable. OTOH, maybe the bimmer just held up better structurally.
Would the air bags deploy on any read end collision? (Assuming no secondary collisions). I don't know if the other driver's air bags deployed.
