I don't have an OEM pan on my car and it's fine.
But it's a very good point that the oil ring may be damaged and sucking air.
If you have a replacement oil ring it would be good to replace it and test
I really thing this issue is something small
I am happy to read that you are trying to fix it
Keep listening to people's suggestions and keep trying
Great people on this site to help when ever they can

If the solenoids had anything to do with the tranny pumping fluid while it was in park, I suppose I could put all the old solenoids back in like someone suggested but I just figure they play no rule in getting the tranny fluid in.
Yesterday once again I could pump close to 4 quarts in until a slow drip formed. I started the car letting it idle for 30 seconds and pulled the fill plug to find a steady slow stream coming out now that the car was running. It also through up a trannymalfunction error and dbc warning error saying car could be put into gear without pressing the brake.
I'm not the quiting type but this car is winning the fight. I found a car like mine at a u-pull it salvage yard that will sell me the transmission for 1k, if i can find a qualified bmw mechanic I may go that route if I don't figure the problem soon. Im also starting to worry that now that I tried filling so many times I fear something else may be damaged since no fluid is circulating

I would clean as good as possible with some brake fluid and then try it
The reason I suggested it was because your transmission was working before even though poorly
If we know that everything else is fitted properly then I would check that it's not the pans fault
You have nothing to lose
