I was in electric mode pulling slowly into a parking garage parking space this was a rental car from National. As I pulled in the car lights came on and the car accelerated and crashed me into the cement wall of the parking garage, the brakes would not stop the car. There was damage to the front but the air bags did not deploy. I called National to have the car towed. I see there are several reports of this happening with BMW.
