If the car goes into limp mode, pull over and shut off the car. It's the first fail-safe the car attempts to prevent damage. Given you continued to drive it till it smoked...

Never had problems with my 328i *knock on wood* but when I owned my 07 G35, it went into limp mode because of overheating (fan and thermostat were faulty) and decided to just get it towed.
