Help x5 4.8is wont start

[E53 4.8is]

So as the title reads my 4.8is wont start. It died not that long ago and i replaced the battery. Started back up stumbled for a few minutes and then made it home np. I drove it around a few short trips by my house to make sure it didnt strand me and sure enough it did. Now ive been trying to work on it in a parking lot less than a mile from my house. Symptoms, car cranks but will not start. At first it would start for maybe 1-2 seconds intermittantly and then die as soon as i gave it gas. Now it wont start at all. I have tried switching the relays, nothing. I jumpered the fuel pump relay and i still heard nothing so i installed new fuel pump. Now i can hear the pump running With the relay jumpered but still nothing. I did get a fuel pressure test gauge but i have not tried that yet. I pulled the out side fuel line from the filter and im getting fuel there. If i had a bad crank position sensor would it fail like this? Whats the best way to check spark on this motor? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Could it be a bad dme? Thanks in advance.
