Vehicle Speed Control problem

On [xxx] approx [xxx] pm, my 2023 BMW 740i (VIN [xxx], 46,093 mi, software 03/2026. 30) suddenly accelerated on its own with no accelerator input from me. I was driving under 30 mph in odessa, TX, shortly after making a left turn from [xxx] onto [xxx]. Once I felt the acceleration, I gradually braked while checking the hud, which confirmed cruise control was not engaged. I also confirmed the accelerator pedal was not obstructed - the vehicle has only factory BMW all-weather floor mats, no aftermarket mats or parts. The vehicle came under control as I braked. No collision, no damage, no injuries, and no dashboard warning lights before, during, or after. Weather was clear, no precipitation. I purchased this vehicle new in may 2023. After the turning maneuver and settling on a straight path, then the acceleration began, the petal was pressed but the speed exceeded petal demands.
