My 248,000 Mile E60 M5 track car

Bought at 63,000 miles. Used it as a daily (except for winter) for years. Seen 43 different states, 30+ track days, 68+ oil changes. Now at 248,000 miles, it's reserved for track days and spirited driving. It has seen redline every time I've driven it since the day I bought it! Rod bearings changed at 147,000 miles, probably not changing them again unless I start to see copper. Engine is original, but everything around the engine has been replaced, sometimes thrice🤣

Newer isn't always better, this is still my undisputed champion.

528i Xdrive won’t go into gear

Going to fully explain what happened so there’s no confusion. Listening to music with car off, get the battery light. I start the car wait like 10 minutes, go to pull out and battery dies. Get it started with a jump pack and I drive for 30 minutes, then I notice I lost transmission power, went into neutral fail safe I put it in drive and reverse and the manual select all acted as neutral. Used the manual override and got it home.

The next day got a new battery and registered it with the car. I went to follow the full process located the fill hole and it dumped fluid out, didn’t stink just dark no metal shavings. Got it to temp and checked again and more fluid came out. Car was level all around. After that happened I used a better tool and found that the transmission is in first gear which would explain why it’s dumping the fluid even though it’s low.

TLDR transmission is in first gear while the EGS is in park. I try to put it in drive or reverse and it goes straight back to park. I’m hoping it’s not the bridge seal or that fun stuff.

I have another transmission I can throw in I just want more opinions before I do that and it still not work.

Codes came up for ratio clutch an and d, and low and voltage at the transmission sensors.

Need Some Guidance

A few nights ago, I turned my car off and when attempting to start again, all the lights and normally functions began but engine didn't crank or make any noises. Ran a diagnostic last night and saw the codes attached. Because the engine refuses to start, I had to put it in manual neutral and now it wont go back into park. Can anyone offer insight into what might be causing the engine to not crank? Also any solutions for taking out of nuetral? Also found some pretty bad corrosion (also pictured) any input is greatly appreciated.
