Car accelerates violently when I push down all the way on the gas pedal

Oh yea, and there are also significant g's under very hard cornering and under sudden, hard braking. What gives?!

It's broken. Take it back and get an Audi. That will solve your problem.

While I'm on the subject of complaints, the leather is so soft it doesn't feel like normal car-seat leather, and the headlights are so bright they make night time feel like day. Damn BMW.

Dude I know! I also experience often this smoke coming from the rear, but not from the exhaust. It already had me change the rear pair since I wasn't moving from lights anymore.

There is a problem. It's not me.

I don't think that was the smell, but I did however tell the spouse the tires were a faulty pair and had to be replaced. He's happier not knowing what a life with me costs.

See. It's Candy. She doesn't do as told so I have to mark my way from the lights so I can find my way back.

My car has the sudden acceleration when pressing on the pedal defect too. To make matters worse, my exhaust sounds great when it's supposed to suck.

FAIL.
