1st time it happened and scared me for the future on track again !
This morning, I pushed hard on 2nd, 3rd and 4th when engine hot, nothing happened at all.
Confusing !
Must follow this US recall story about the Vanos.....

Maybe also take a look at issues # 5a, 5b, 5c and 14 of the 1M issues log sticky:

Last year I witnessed a 135i with a Cobb tune going into 'limp mode' after some spirited driving with 2 1Ms in the curvy/hilly Black Forrest. The owner changed the Cobb tune setting to a less aggressive mode and that seemed to resolve the matter: after an engine cool down of half an hour or so all systems were OK again (no limp mode anymore).
In some way, 'limp mode' serves the same purpose as fainting: a way to keep the body safe from (further) harm.
