Car lost power then quickly died while driving

2007 Mini Cooper S R56 N14

I was driving along just fine with no warning lights/icons lit up on the dashboard, no engine noises, and full tank of gas. I lost power and then the car quickly died. Half check-engine light came on. The battery is charged. Car turns over and over and won't start.

I plugged in my Innova 5110 and got these codes: P163D, P1638, P163E, P1631

I plugged in my Foxwell NT510 and ran a quick scan and faults all over the place:
  1. Car Access System CAS - Fault2
  2. Engine electronics DME - Fault6
  3. Electronic Power Steering EPS - Fault1
  4. Driver's side footwell module FRM - Fault1
  5. Automatic heating/air conditioning IHKA - Fault2
The car has no leaks or smells. The timing chain was replaced 2 months ago with no problems. Daily driver.

Thoughts on where to start?

UPDATE: I just checked for spark and have none. Now to diagnose why.

No lights on the dash, automatic heating/ air condition, CAS all indicates FRM module(footwell) has failed. Get that replaced FIRST and have it recoded and then see where it stands in terms of other issues like no sparks

Wow.... that was bad wording on my part. I reworded the first sentence. "no warning lights/icons lit up on the dashboard" is what I meant to say. Lights in cabin, on dash, and A/C all work fine.
