2012 328i won't start, multiple codes

My 2012 328i won't start, getting multiple codes such as "chassis Stabilization", "drivetrain malfunction, drive moderately" and "flat tire monitor malfunction". Before that, it seemed like the analog oil temperature gage was not working as it was sometimes a minimum value for long stretches of time. Battery is only 2 years old. Had oil leak near alternator a few months ago which spilled engine oil in area of alternator. 2 years ago dealer fixed wiring from mouse damage. Always started before with other problems. Any ideas what's wrong?

Engine won't crank but all electrical seems to work fine.

Post the actual ISTA+ codes to hep narrow down the cause. Seems like you accumulated a lot of errors over the years...and resetting them with ISTA+ should help point to the real problem.

Does the engine turn over? Does it even move a bit? Do you hear any ticks or noises when starting or all dead silence? Checked fuses to alternator, etc?

Good to describe previous issues with car as potentially may have led to the current problem but you need to post more info on current status of what it does/does not do.
