Angry Ton of codes need help my friends



2011 BMW m3 E90

SO i had my car in storage for 3 months since i moved to new home. Battery was completely dead so i replaced with new one. i go to turn on the car and it had a rough idle then one by one warning lights started coming on. after a minute or too the car shut off by itself. i tried to turn it on again and it stayed on for 5 seconds before it shutting off by itself again. i did some investigating and i find different answers to what it could be. here are the warnings i am getting

1. engine malfunction! reduce power
2. driving stability drive moderately
3. increased emissions
4. DBC malfunction
5. start-off assistance inactive.

i plugged my OB reader and it gave me these two codes.

1. PO500 vehicle speed sensor A.
2. P1209 with no description. (what is this?)

I am newbie and never had issues with the car. its now out of warranty so i would like to do which ever fixes is required myself. any help from the fellow brother hood of M3 owners would be greatly appreciated.

P1209 Injector Control Pressure System Fault, probably bad fuel.

Remove bad fuel, there should be some info if you search the forums. Also if the tank is near empty you could add some premium fuel to the tank and see if it dilutes enough to run properly.
