I have recently purchased a new BMW 3 Series Touring. I have 55 years accident free driving experience, always with manual transmission, and the new car was my first automatic transmission. Two weeks ago, I had my first ever collision which I have failed to understand. I was driving slowly in city traffic when the car in front stopped. I braked in good time, but my vehicle failed to slow down. In fact it accelerated and "fish tailed" into the rear of the car ahead. The incident exactly reflected the "unintended acceleration" reports that afflicted certain Toyota and Audi in approximately 2008-10. I understand that if I had inadvertently depressed both pedals simultaneously, then the brake would have overrided and inactivated any acceleration. BMW are unlikely to admit to any fault, and I wondered if you have any experience of current "unintended acceleration" on new BMW, or whether there is a possible recall looming?
