Brand new 330e limp mode then shutdown

Wish my 1st post for this car was not this!

I took delivery of a 330e 4 weeks ago and have been really enjoying it.
Yesterday while normal driving in town, it went into limp mode then almost immediately a full shutdown with various errors: drivetrain errors, battery errors.

BMW Roadside assistance help was minimal due to it being Saturday evening: car taken to dealer on flatbed.

I'll update the post when I get explanation from dealer.

Dealer is stumped and has escalated to BMW UK for advice. Any other 330e owners experience such issue?

Update on Repair

So after 4 weeks with the dealer I got the car back. The issue seems to have been a faulty Electric Motor Control module. This was replaced under warranty. Looks like an expensive part ~£4k.

Car now working well and a real joy to drive.
