You will no longer be welcome in the sales dept . Prepare yourself to be treated like scum in the service dept.

Even BMWs had major issues with electrics during the '90s.

When this Christmas tree effect occurs on the newer (than 90's) BMW's, traction, emission, gearbox etc all at the same time, it is almost always the battery at fault. Everything is monitored to the Nth degree, any drop in battery output (or when charging which is also monitored), then the car starts shedding supplies and throws errors at you.
As has been stated, Limp Mode isn't an error, its a self protection mode to prevent further damage.
This is feasible on a new car which may have sat idle for a fairly long period.

Having said that, my last French car (a Renault) had so many electrical gremlins I threw it through an auction and swore never to buy French again.
