Description of the problem	Sua. I was in a frightening accident attempting to park my car on the rooftop of my 4 story office building. I pulled into a space on the edge of the lot and came to a complete stop. My foot was on the brake, i was about to put the car in park when the engine loudly and suddenly revved and the car surged forward up onto a concrete curb and rammed into a 4 ft high concrete retaining wall. The force of the impact tore the wall apart from the roof - my car was still accelerating, wheels spinning. The broke wall stopped by car from completely going over and i was able to turn the engine off and get out. There were witnesses who can verify that i was at a complete stop, brake lights on and it all happened in a few seconds. It was so shocking that i will never drive a bmw again.
