My m3 cranks but won't start! help!

So I have the following control messages as you can see in 2 of the pictures along with all of the lights I have on my dash in the first picture (red brake light turns yellow with e-brake down):

1. Engine malfunction! Reduced power
2. DSC malfunction! Drive carefully
3. DBC malfunction! Drive carefully
4. Service due (although I knew it needed an oil change)
5. Resetting TPM (I believe from low battery from cranking)
6. Start off assistance inactive! (I believe from the low battery from cranking it so many times while trying to diagnose it)
7. Fuel pump!

Like I stated in the title, it will crank but it won't start. Yesterday when the problem started, it would fire up reliably every time but misfire and idle rough or poorly until about 3-5 seconds later when it would putter itself out.

So far I checked the voltage to the fuel pump and it seems as if its getting no power to it. Now I could be wrong but that what it seems. So where to go from here is beyond me. I've tried looking on other threads and posts but I couldn't seem to get a definitive answer.

I was hoping that someone had this same scenario and they could definitively tell me what they had replaced to remedy the problem and I could start with that.

Any help is appreciated!
