You must have been whipping the thing pretty hard? Repeated runs to 120+ MPH can do that under the right circumstances.

No, I promise the car was NOT even close to being driven hard. I have driven a lot of cars hard, but I have yet to drive my M2 hard. And the first time this happened I didn't even have it floored, it was 80% throttle and around 90-100 mph when it happened. I used to drive my Mustangs at 130-155 for several minutes, sometimes almost an hour at a time without even the slightest bit of heat issues and definitely no limp mode.
Only "mod" on the car is a cat less downpipe, but that shouldn't affect the drivetrain. Keep in mind, this is not a check engine light, this comes up as a different light with the idrive saying "drivetrain malfunction".
