The car was later found abandoned in a nearby field.
Det Sgt Paul Price, of Chorley CID, said: "This was a terrifying incident for the victim and it has understandably left her extremely shaken.
"Enquiries are ongoing to identify the suspects and I am asking the public to get in contact if they saw the white BMW in that area before or after this shocking incident occurred.
"I would also ask people to check their dashcam footage to see if they have picked up the BMW travelling from the Greater Manchester area before 6.33pm or indeed after the incident."
