UPDATE: Just got the car back from BMW. According to the tech the DCT fluid overheated and before the limp mode could kick in while driving I parked it. The computer(s) stored the faults and when I turned the car back on a few hours later the limp mode kicked in. Knowing what I know now I'll let the car cool down a few miles before I park it. They checked the fluid and nothing out of the ordinary so they're ruling out any mechanical problems.
The tech did tell me that the DCT is still in its break-in period which none of us knew existed. Current mileage is 3500 and not 5000 like I thought. Shows you how much I actually drive the car. He's waiting for BMW to get back to him on that. Two techs came up to me asking me whether I was tracking the car wondering how I could get the temps up that high lol
Bottom line.....it isn't broke and I plan on driving this thing more often. Leaving it parked is a sin and this is probably my punishment lol
Thanks for the responses gents.
