The 2 sensors are the only thing that will prevent the car from starting that's on the list. If you did a smoke test why do you think it's the CCV? seems the car is lacking maintenance and it has come to a head. Focus on the 2 sensors and once it cranks you can address the other codes. You need a proper BMW code reader because right now you're looking at changing out cats with the 420 and 430 codes.
Oh I believe its important to know that the PO actually went catless so that might be the reason as to why its pulling those codes.

Why hasn't a tune been put on the car if it's catless. Please say the didn't get rid of the O2 sensors. This car seems like a ticking time bomb.
