Description of the problem | Started the car and started driving out of the parking lot. As turning the corner very slowly, the rear wheel went over the curb. At that point car started accelerating rapidly and hitting the brake didn't help. Crashed into the wall of the building, at least at 30 mph and the car got totaled. Contacted bmw and they said they'll send an inspection engineer. Haven't heard from them since. *nm |
