## Narrative
While parking in a rather standard strip mall parking lot, it was discovered the car was too close to the car on the right. The car was backed up a few feet and braked to a stop. When the gear shifter was moved to drive, the car took off and struck the car in front at 13 mph, causing about $75,000 of damage to our BMW iX M60. BMW did a precrash report with data but no written summary or opinion. It was quite clear from the phone call on the crash that BMW would argue the cause was driver error.
