I had the same issue you had with your car. A couple times when I was pushing the car hard all my warning lights came on, the windshield wipers came on and the car went in to limp mode. It then happened to me while I was tracking my car. I started getting warning lights flashing and multiple error codes on my iDrive, the wipers came on and car went in to limp mode. Pulled off the track but was able to start up again.

When I reviewed my dashcam footage the voltage reading on my display quickly climbed up and over 17 volts maybe even 19 right before the car went wonky.

I tracked the issue down to the Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS). It is integrated in to the negative battery cable. Replaced this and have had no issues since. Might be what caused your issue as well.
Thanks for sharing that brother. It has not occurred again, but I haven't been to the track either. Chances are it would probably come back. My car did the same thing, 19volts or something when it occurred. Do you have the part number you changed? Was it difficult to change?
