Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While driving in a parking lot at approx. 3-5 mph, my 2005 530i suddenly accelerated while my foot was on the brake. i pushed on the brake pedal as hard as possible to slow the vehicle, then quickly shifted the automatic transmission into park and turned off the key. i took the car to the bmw dealer where i bought the car. they were unable to find the problem, so they have brought in engineers from bmw north america to analyze and fix the problem. *jb
