Smile Can't get my 750Li Started

Hey guys, I just picked up a 2010 f02 750Li for next to nothing that won't start. (I know I may have made a big mistake). When I hit the push to start button you can hear an audible clunk sound (I assume its the starter solenoid) then nothing happens and a few seconds later you can hear another clunk (I again assume thats the solenoid retracting). What I find odd is that if between the first clunk and second clunk if I take my foot off the brake it immediately actuates the solenoid. I then hooked up a jump box and was able to get the starter spinning and I heard a nasty grinding sound for a few seconds and no start. I used ista to see if there were any faults but none specific to the starter or DME. The car also cannot shift out of park which I feel may have something to do with it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
