| This is about my 1998 740il bmw. two times since owning this vehicle the engine reveved up when i was pushing the brake pedal, nearly causing me to loose control. i found the problem. compared to my previous mercedes benz, the accelarator and brake pedals are closer together. also, the brake pedal of the bmw compresses further down that with any other car. as a result, if my foot was only on the edge of the brake pedal, the bottom of my foot extended over onto the gas pedal. the harder i pressed the brake, the more gas i was giving the engine. to a new person in that car, as i was, this was a deadly conbination. now that i know, i am much more careful and the situation has not reoccurred. *tr | |||
