You can reduce the threshold of this occurrence by pressing the DSC button once on your console. If you hold the button for four seconds, all nannies except for ABS will be disabled.

I know magazines say BMW traction control doesn't intervene as much as in other cars, but when it does come on, it can come on HARD. I'm sure what happened is the car noticed the wheels' loss of traction, and it cut fuel and braked.
