That makes me even more convinced it's the MAF

Would you like me to take a video of me disconnecting the MAF from my car to see if it is the same as yours?

That would be helpful.
Why you think its the MAF? The engine shuts off either if its connected or disconnected.

I will take video tomorrow

The reason why I think it's the MAF is because if it's broken nothing will change if it is connected or disconnected

I ordered a TMAP sensor and it didn't work
For e60, its a TMAP instead of MAF

I scanned my car again and this is what i get:

Have you checked your battery yet. I see so many power issues that you are getting

I know my battery does drain fast but I tried starting up even when I was hooked up to a battery charger. I let it sat till the battery was 100% charged and turned it on.
same problem, engine would shut off but all electronic component stays on

Doesn’t seem like it’s the fuel pump. When I unloosen the nut, turned the key to ignition, fuel came out


I also uploaded a clip of my car starting and the engine dying out
