I was driving and my side air bag and door air bag on the driver side deployed with no cause for this to happen. I pulled over. Nothing at that time was smoking or wrong with the vehicle. I drove the vehicle further down the road for about ten minutes to get closer to my boyfriend's house. I stopped in a lot to call him. Put the car in park and turned the engine off and the front end on the right side started to smoke. I got out of the vehicle and the front end slowly bursted into flames.

While driving on busy streets, unexpected acceleration while trying to brake at red lights...the brakes do not work. Fortunately no bodily injuries, only smashed up cars...I will not drive that car again and I don't even feel good about selling it to someone else.

Driving vehicle and all power cuts out...no power steering or power brakes...just stops dead... I know there has been a recall for this issue but my vehicle is not part of the recall...but obviously has a similar issue...this has happened on multiple occasions...and I am at the point where I am afraid to even drive it...

The incident occurred 6-5-2017. The vehicle was parked and on ignition start, the car's engine was unusually loud and revved up. Upon shifting the automatic gear to reverse, the car self-accelerated in reverse without pressing the gas. Attempts to repeatedly break did not work, so gear was shifted to drive to move forward and avoid a collision into a neighborhood home that was behind the parked car. Upon changing gear to drive, the car continued to self-accelerate forward, and again brakes did not work. In forward motion, at high speed the car went over the curb and hilly ground. Attempt to shift now to park along with brake did not work. To avoid massive accident and collision with parked cars ahead, the driver turned the wheels toward a utility pole to stop the vehicle. The car stopped only after a collision with the utility pole. The car was smoking in the back and was still revving when stopped. According to the driver, car was moving at speed 60 mph. No floor mats were misplaced near driver pedals. Driver was able to get help, at which point 911 call was made. Driver was transported by ambulance to fairfax hospital emergency room. Driver suffered fractured nose and tears in face that required surgical repair and sutures. Event reported to BMW North America, 6-6-2017. Most people will try to conclude that this was driver error. However, various malfunctioning self-acceleration issues with bmws have been reported online; including E46 generation bmws, which is the model of my car. In cases where the problem was successfully solved (for bmws), replacing either the vanos solenoid sensors or wheel speed sensors did the trick. In unsuccessful cases, the drivers simply sold/replaced the entire car because the dealerships were unable to detect or recreate the issue using the software and techniques they had.

Rear view mirror leak onto the tan color console of the car. This is due to the manufactures malfunction rear view mirrors placed in most models. The liquid leak is the make up of the dimmer in order to work. Because the liquid spilled out, the dimmer no longer works and I have a black stained on my tan color consoled that does not removed and a very expensive mirror that does not work properly as expected by manufacture.
