Help! early e90 with multiple codes

My fiance has a 2006 BMW 330xi with less than 100xxx miles on it. I recently had to put a starter in it. She drove it for several days without incident but then was on her way to work and the check engine light came on as well as the oil light and then it just dies in the middle of the road. I just stopped, cranked it over, thinks about firing, and then sounds flat like it has no compression. I had them pull codes and it shows the following:

29CE - misfire cylinder 2
2E19 - firing cylinder 2
2E9F - oil state sensor
2AA0 - camshaft sensor, inlet signal
2AA1 - camshaft sensor, outlet signal
2A9E - camshaft sensor inlet, synchronization
2A9F - camshaft sensor outlet, synchronization

Please let me know if you have any ideas. I am mechanically inclined, and it seems like too much of a coincidence that all this happened at once, unless something timing related self destructed and then I fear the motor is junk. I would also like to add that there was no audible noise heard when this all happened.

Update

I wanted to look at a couple of things this morning and one thing I did was look into the oil cap on the valve cover. I noticed what appeared to be rust on one of the cams. This lead me to removing the oil filter cap and I found milky, creamy oil and I could see the green tint of coolant in it. Are these motor known for head gasket failure or head failure without warning. Car has not overheated or gotten hot in the time we have owned it. This would explain the oil state code as well as camshaft codes due to oil pressure problems because of diluted oil. Thoughts?
