I finally had a chance to poke around on it today and I found the ground strap between transmission and body (rough shape but still connected -- see pic).
Is there another ground strap on this car? I could not find a definitive answer for the N55 F22. Thanks!
PS Failure to go into park was due to the neutral switch bolt being engaged. Loosened the bolt and voila it went into park

Sounds like you've saved ~6K+ vs. going to the dealer. Well done!
