335d e92-Sudden power loss on moterway!

I baught a 2008 e92 2 weeks ago an drove it on the moterway today for the first time, an after i put my foot down an went over around 60mph a light came on the dashboard (shown below) an then the car lost power, went into a limp mode, so pulled over, switch the car off an then on again, an it was fine, but then done the same problem again.
The light that come on the dash i believe is the automatic transmission light, has anyone experianced this problem or can help?

+ 1 could be a control module, fluid level, temperature to high, etc.....

If you purchased from a dealer you should take it back and have them deal with it, I'm sure the UK has "lemon laws" in affect!

Had a similar situation on a busy highway in Toronto with an x5 35d
The car needed to be towed to BMW because it wouldnt start (not even after jump start)...
It was fuel pump and sensor related in my situation. Covered under warranty but had a deductible of $50CAD.


Also battery was dead, so they replaced that for $700CAD

$700 for the battery? Is it a lot more for diesels?

In the States I paid $280 to the dealer in 2011, but I've seen higher on the forum...
