Random unintended accelaration?!?

Greetings ladies and gents,

First post, not new to the F10 528i and far from new to BMW's, current 27 year owner of the same '80 633 CSi and more recently, an E46 330 Ci Cabrio.

Anyhoo, back to the matter at hand, the missus 2011 528i (note: only year with 3.0L inline 6, not turbo 4) that is starting to experience something weird and a bit startling as well, unintended acceleration.

Well, to be more specific, it feels like a very brief lurching while foot on the brake, so the car really doesn't move anywhere, and it's very momentary, but odd and scary nonetheless.

if anyone has experienced this phenomenon and better yet, knows what causes it and what the solution is, I would greatly appreciate hearing back, before traipsing off to the "stealer" only to pay a few C-notes, just for troubleshooting.

Many thanks in advance!!

Cheers, Bobbo
