There is rapid acceleration while taking foot off accelerator when the car is in motion going up hill. Antilock brakes slow to engage on steep declines and approaching a stop sign. There is too much power to the rear wheel, the car skids on painted surfaces such as cross walks and painted yield signs on road surfaces when accelerating from a full stop. The wheels spin on crosswalk paint. The car has a built in gyroscope and pulls to the left when starting from a parked position after parked for several days on a hill. The pulling continues for several blocks. The car needs a new set of tires and only has 10,000 miles. The car has been inspected twice by BMW technicians at peter pan BMW in burlingame. We were told the surfaces similar to those found in san francisco were replicated in burlingame and there was no problem with the car. The problems still persists.
