Your car went into limp mode. As to why, hard to say without knowing the codes stored in the ECU. If you can get the car to an auto parts store, they have ODBC readers that scan for codes, usually for free.
As for the water, they probably meant water ON the engine, not in it. This can cause spark misfires or weird sensor outputs. Take off the engine cover and check for water around the spark plugs as a start.

Nicely done, Super Moderator. 
mvx, they paid for your Lyft, and you've got the possibility dangling out there that your car might be OK in the morning. Whatever the explanation understood or mangled, go into this tomorrow hoping your car runs fine. Deal with it then. Anyway, sounds like a horribly frustrating experience.

So I got back from the place and everything is back to normal! My car runs as it did before and the lights are now gone. Looks like any moisture may have been dried up at this point. I had a freakout, but thankfully it all turned out okay, even though it was basically a whole day of frustration. Thanks for the input guys!

And upon rereading the post, I see I misunderstood what had been done to the car. Winshield tint. Water behind the dashboard. Yeah, nothing to do with the engine, though wetting the wiring harness and a connector or three could really confuse the ECU.
Regardless, all's well that ends well.

While I know this is not the Q50 forum, I believe some of you will appreciate this!

Ferrari / Viper had me stumped.

Damn impressive, Viper started to pull in the rematch but still smoked.

Nothing like thrashing exotics in a dad car.
