Front Wheels locked solid after taking delivery of brand new 118i automatic 2 days ago, taking delivery we drove about 60 miles Ok.

Parked in car port for 1 day, setting P and hand brake off

Engine started Ok, no dashboard lights, hand brake was off.

Engaged Drive, needed a bit of accelerator but front wheels refused to rotate, just pushed gravel in front 

Garage took car away on low loader but can't find any fault yet, but only say there is a " factory stop", whatever that means.

    Morning John and Welcome

    ??????? Never heard or read anything like this before, baffled. I thought drag cars were the only ones with lockable front brakes to heat the rear tyres?

    Be interesting to know what they come back with
