Yeah there was a guy in the UK last month whose BMW something or other kept accelerating (or stuck at 125 or something).
Too many sensors and processors?
Edit: stuck accelerator (gas) pedal
Maybe you can get BMW to dump the recent events and check the behaviour of your steering?

I had a friend in the car with me it 10:25PM at the moment in Istanbul so before getting a lawyer I'm going to contact my dealer tomorrow btw I'm not driving it anymore I'm arranging proper trucks at the moment to get the car towed. In D it went reverse and in reverse it didn't move just revved.

Take your friend to the dealer with you, if possible.

Suggest that you have vehicle towed to a reliabe independant garage, perhaps you should call your insurance company and have them reccomend one. Let them check out the car for a serious defect that may have caused your accident and get a written report from them. Next have your car towed to your dealer and see what they report.
You should explain everything to your insurance company, if they can find a fault, then they will use this information and probably the insurance company will sue BMW on your behalf if they do not own up and take responsibility if in fact there is a defect.

Yes i hit the curb before i got stuck in the fence. BTW Insurance company wants a police report before paying the bills and they wouldn't sue BMW cause the system in turkey is different. When you make an accident you call the police. But I was unable to do so as the car was blocking the traffic I am trying to get one right now. I didn't have an accident for 3 years so i have 40% discount on my insurance too so i really don't want to involve insurance at first.

Ohhh f*ck this is horrible. Such bad luck. Man don't give up, this is inacceptable. Try again with the dealer with your witness. Try to make them understand the situation and if that doesn't help get the hard way with the layer and all.
PS: loose the chrome thingies on the headlights plzzzzzzzzzz.

I think that an independant unbiased garage should examine your car and their report could come in handy should you decide to sue BMW.

I had the car examined by a garage earlier today but I didn't get a report. If BMW accepts its fault then there would be no insurance coverage needed that's what I'm going for. BTW why does nobody seem to like the headlights trim. BTW NOBODY has answered my earlier question: Would I have any damage with front wheels and stuff (hubs,suspension etc.)
