You'll need a very small hex key. I want to say it was the 1/16th in.
I purged the adaptive map, got about 15 minutes of driving before the light came back on. The dealer is going to take a look at it. I'll update with what it turns out to be.
Going home from Grindelwald meeting I had my Engine Control Light burning nearly constantly (for more than 1200km's, engine worked without problems). My dealer checked all sensors involved, especially the knocking sensor for the right cylinder suspected by the error code. No error found, finally exchanged the ECU under warranty. My M3W now runs much better at lower rpm's, although few hick-ups occur now in traffic jam with hot engine. All in all, the new ECU is a big improvement!

Dealer says...bad gas. They emptied the tank, didn't like the look of the gas. Put new gas in and no light. They ran it for a while and the light never came back on.
I had been giving it local, artisanal gas from the gas station nearest to my house. Looks like I'll have to go to a big chain with a name brand instead of the gas station whose name, I believe, is "ATM Inside"
In other news, while waiting for them to come get the M3W, I noticed a clunking coming from the back. I tried to find anything that seemed loose and couldn't. Dealer said he noticed a grinding sound as well. They tracked it down and said there was a bad wheel bearing. Looks like this would have been in the shop this week no matter what. They ordered the part. Hopefully won't take to long. They ordered it from MMC from what I understand though. I would think there'd be something off the shelf closer to home.
By the time I get it back, it will have been in the shop longer than I've had it. Not really upsetting, but it will be if this is a trend. My father wouldn't buy a used Jaguar that I was pushing for in high school because he said that they tend to spend half their time with the mechanic. I remembered him saying that when I did the math on how long this will take to get back.
Nick, the rear wheel bearings are very much a standard bearing so any bearing factor will likely have them in stock or available overnight at worst. I'm not at home just now so can't just quote the spec for the bearings (two identical bearings are required)

Thanks. There's good info there. I would assume initial manufacturing defect and not wear, but only because it went at 600 miles. I'll have to check the belt tension.
Got it back last night. Yay! Drove it down the driveway and the check engine light turned on. Booooo!
Drove it back up the driveway to show the dealer before he drove off, and it turned back off. Decided to take it to work this morning and it looks like it is back on.
He had driven it for 40 miles or so after swapping out the gas, and ran it sitting for quite a while too. It never came on for him.
