Drivetrain problem

I'm a new forum member...I have a 2015 i8 with about 7800 miles on it - original owner. Last week, I was driving back to Virginia from Philly and I had a drivetrain issue. The pics attached are the first two errors that I got.

It then told me that it was switching to electric power only and since I had been driving highway for the past 100 miles, quickly died. I was able to get it over to the side of the road and called BMW assistance. As they were dispatching a tow truck, I turned the car off and back on - and was back in business. My question is: is this something any of you have encountered? I equate it to rebooting a computer to get all of the software working together again. And probably the bigger question is whether this is an anomaly or something to take to the dealer. I am no longer under warranty and I'd rather not pay the dealer to run a discovery session if not necessary.

Thanks!
