I put it in reverse and got that most recent error, the gear symbol on the center display, and the "drive moderately to BMW service" message on the console. That's when I scanned the codes again and got that clutch code. I can do it all again this morning and see if anything new comes up.
History of the vehicle. A family friend owned it since new. In 2017, my parents bought it, had 53K on it. For the next 3 years, my parents barely drove it, to a tune of <1000 miles/year. They're in their 80's and mostly drove their other car if they needed to get around. They then decided the X5 was not comfortable enough and wasn't driven enough and I bought it from them. They took good care of it, had it serviced through BMW mostly, and I got it was ~56K on it in March. Since March, I've put about 1200 miles on it (work mostly). It's gotten more use in the last 3 months than it is used to in the last couple years really.
I haven't noticed anything with the transmission and it always drove very well since I've had it. I was shocked Monday when this started.
When I look at all the codes that were there that I think are drivetrain/transmission related:
A0B1 Input, selector-lever position, implausible.
507B Parking-gear sensors implausible
55C3 AWD limp-home control activated. No DSC specified nominal torque
A817 Steering-wheel angle invalid
The ones above were there and I had cleared them. I'll see if any come back up today. It seems like it's a selector/programming input type issue. But I am only guessing, have no real clue.
Had 3 GWS Gear Selector Switch faults yesterday too before I wiped everything.
E099 Message,damper program
A833 Button, deblocking, jammed
A83A Undervoltage
Also the reversing camera is giving me a Transport Mode Active fault which keeps coming back. Just for that section which is strange.
I did unhook the battery on Monday thinking maybe I can reset the system while I was checking to make sure I had a good connection. Wondering if the "undervoltage" came from that. I didn't see that code come back after I wiped everything.
I'll recheck things today and can do whatever you suggest. I've been hesitant to drive it out of the drive way, but can if needed.

I see Cyrix echoed my suspicions above...
I would buy a brand new, proper AGM battery. With minimal driving over the last few years, the car has likely been running way under charged. Your recent work in an don it, with the power 'woken up' may have pushed it over.
Your erriors are spurious (ie not one area, one related thing)- seemingly disparate sources...(transmission....engine...steering sensor....)hence voltage issues seem to be a possible source.
Also, a battery is a maintenance item..4-8 years. Less if theyve been abused. Adn parking a car for weeks on end will abuse these batteries
I know this is a bit 'shot in the dark-y' and 'if every time there is any issue you always say 'battery' you are bound to be right once or twice'. But hey...
