I had an X5 4.4 many years ago that had random acceleration issues where if you touched the throttle just a bit, it would take of. It scarred the heck out of me when I was trying to inch out into an intersection to make a turn and it shot into the intersection. Almost got T-Boned. After my dealer had 4 attempts to fix it, they swore they had solved the problem. So I test drove it before I signed off and it happened again with a service writer in the car. I refused to take it unless they agreed to indemnify me in case of an accident which they refused. Then the lawyers got involved and a lemon law buy-back happened. It was not the transmission. I believe (although I cannot prove) it was something in the electronic throttle control.
