Drivetrain malfunction and driving stabilisation when drifting( or wheel slip)

I have a 2020 F20 BMW 120i. It is stage 2 tuned with a catless downpipe. It has 293hp and 430nm. Since the tune I haven’t had any issues with the car. But recently when driving hard in a straight line and the rear wheels began to slip. The car went in a sort of limp mode. It went in comfort out of sport and said to drive moderately. First it gave drivetrain fault message but not anything specific and after driving stabilisation fault message. The first time I drove straight to my local garage and he deleted the fault code and it was fine. today i went for a drive and everything went fine, also when driving hard. Until I went to a parking lot and did a donut, the car again went out of sport mode and gave me the fault messages again. I shut the car off. Locked it, and got back in and the fault codes were gone. I didn’t notice anything wrong with car driving it after the fault codes. Do any of you know what the problem could be as the car does not specify where the fault is. And how can I get this issue to go away. Cause what fun is my rear wheel drive bmw if it throws a fault code at me everytime I hit a drift or wheel slip.

(Pictures of fault codes are in Dutch)
The last pic is the fault code that the reading device shows

Do you, really? BMW reportedly stopped making this car in June of 2019, which makes 2019 "model year" the last one.

If I check my license plate it says the car is from 2020. but it could be possible the car came out of the factory late 2019 and was registered in 2020. But that wasn’t at al the point of my post.

Thats correct. Also in my country if any car is made from 6th month of the year is considered next year.

My advice is to buy an obd diagnostic tool(vlinker and bimmerlink) and make again hard pull. Check what is the error code, and google it. Rather than to go in a garage and guys there delete error...earn money
