Engaged cruise control on interstate and the vehicle immediately and aggressively accelerated. As the vehicle speed indicator approached the cruise control pipper, the pipper began to increase, staying about 5mph ahead of the speedometer needle. At approximately 95mph I disengaged the system using the control in the steering wheel. Information center displayed a "cruise control malfunction" error. Engaging the brake disengaged the cruise control, but once I release the brake pedal the cruise began aggressively accelerating again. Tried it once more off the interstate at approximately 30mph and vehicle displayed same symptom. Vehicle speed always appears to chase the cruise setting which increases steadily in relation to vehicle speed. Plan to contact dealer today.

Unable to accelerate safely, engine gives out intermittently at varying speeds. Called every dealership around alpharetta, ga; gwinnette BMW told me they wouldn't work on it or help me and then hung up-all on a recorded line. Still waiting for a manager to call me. Called another dealer and they said to wait a few hours and try again meanwhile I can only hope my car doesn't shut off on my during rush hour or on my way to work. This has been on ongoing issue with the F30 BMW 3 series as many customers indicated this issue for at least two years.
