I have a 2011 BMW 535I that has front and rear cameras and I have recordings of the live footage of my incidence. I was driving through a residential street in my neighborhood to my house. I approached the gate entrance for my complex and stopped on the right lane of the road to make a left turn across the opposing traffic lane to approach the gate entrance. When there was no ongoing traffic, I accelerated to cross the lane and once I had cross the opposing lane and entered the driveway to the my residential complex's gate entrance, I pushed on the brakes to slow down to enter the key code to open the gate. The car slowly down after I pushed the brakes, but then it suddenly accelerated in a herky jerk manner for a 5 second burst for no reason (my foot was on the brake the entire time as my car initially started slowly down after I made my approach towards the gate). The car rammed through and broke the gate and accelerated for a few seconds more before the car finally stopped. I had my foot on the brake the entire time and kept down on the brake, which was evident as the car was initially slowly down from an acceleration before the sudden unintended acceleration, as well as eventually came to a complete stop after the acceleration incident. My BMW has both front and rear cameras on it and I was able to record the entire incident. I can provide the footage of the accident. I have a great driving record and have never experienced an incident like this before. My car is in great condition and has been regularly maintained and serviced. Therewere not any check engine or notification lights on the car before or after the incident..
