Quick update : I did a leak down test on the cylinders. 4 of them actually showed only 10% loss but when I quickly did a compression test I only see 10 psi. How would that be possible other than 2 different compression testers being inaccurate?
There are some scuff marks inside cylinders but I can not tell how bad the damage is by just looking. One other thing I noticed is most of the spark plugs had oil on them which I believe is because there was still some oil inside the cylinders when I was trying to start the car. That also made me believe those plugs did not fire because of oil presence. I will clean them out (or just use new ones) and eventually try to start the car again.. Thanks, Ozzie

What about the oily spark plugs, you think they were working in such condition? Thanks, Ozzie

And no, I wouldn't expect spark plugs fouled with oil to work. Hell, too much fuel is enough to foul a spark plug. Edit: The way that I would put it is this - If you're just trying to get a gauge for the health of a motor, I'd want a compression test. If you're trying to diagnose a motor, a leakdown test is *usually* more useful.

I'm switching back to venting my pressure regulator to the atmospere instead of the air intake!

I am looking at a new (used) Bimmer, possibly an X3 to keep my old X5 as a project car.. Ozzie

The X3 is a newer platform and different fuel system so "I think" (I don't have a manual or diagrams for the X3) the fuel pressure regulator will no longer be a problem.
