E83 2004 2.5i

My car has a lumpy acceleration. It's in the 2000 to 3500 range. It's only a small momentary loss of power like a fraction of a second does it maybe 3 time crossing the range. Any ideas?
Thanks

Re: 100k milage service requirements?

Spark plug are a 100k item I know that for sure. I also did the front diff oil, rear diff oil, gearbox oil and transfer case oil. When doing the transfer case you have to use DIS to reset the wear for the oil which is fairly simple to do. BMW says they are lifed oils but I've seen most people changi...

2004 manual 2.5i X3 presumed play in drivetrain

I'm trying to find why my car clunks when the clutch is let up. It's only a light clunk but audible. It also has a tendency to get stuck jerking when the accelerator is let off like a sort of resonance like a slowly decaying bounce. I think it's either my flex joint, center bearing or my u joint.
