Mini cooper R50 wont start

So i have bought a mini cooper R50 that wont start.

It has been sitting for about 2 years and now i bought it to restore it.

The Battery was dead, So i bought a new one. Didnt work. I bought a new starter motor since the old was a bit slow when i tested it on the ground. Still Nothing. I tried a new ignition Switch, no luck.

When i turn the key everything lights up but the starter motor Doesnt engage.

Could it be the immobilizer?

I only have the blank key, previous owner says it worked but She used to unlock the car first with another key. And the other key is.. Lost.

Suggestions?

Other info

I got this error code from the obd

Powertrain - Ignition System or Misfire - ISO/SAE Controlled

Also the fuel Pump goes constantly and is loud, so does the servo Pump.

Main issue is that the girl wont start. Wont Even try!
