Able to reset by an off/on ignition cycle and it didn't return. Interestingly no faults seemed to be logged when read with iiD, either when the alarm was active or after off/on ignition cycle.
Very similar experience for me today. My D4 now at about 74,000km, driving up a middlingly steep hill this morning - I drive up the same hill most mornings- giving it a bit of a nudge enjoying the torque, but nothing too much. Restricted Performance alarm, Little red triangle and noticeable loss in power. Pulled over, ignition cycled off and back on, alarm gone. No recurrence for the remainder of my short drive to work.
It's actually booked in to the dealer for a service next week so I'll see what they have to say and report back... and if I get a chance in the meantime I'll plug in the Nanocom and see what it tells me.
