IndyBMW Sneekypete I had this happen last year at the beginning of summer. The car had just broken 30k miles and all of a sudden on my way home from work on a hot day, the car went into limp mode on the freeway and started smoking like mofo. I ended up blowing a coolant hose and charge pipe. How the dealer explained it to me, is the 2 series uses up a lot of coolants, and when the weather changes it can make the coolant extremely hot. Ultimately, causing things like the coolant hose to burst under extreme pressure.
Luckily, the car was under warranty, but I did have to go 3 weeks without my car because the parts had to be shipped from Germany. Without the warranty, the damages would have been around $3k.
