I'm having the same problem. It onle does it between 2-3k rpm. I was thinking fuel pump but the one in the car is only a year old.

Man, someone has GOT to figure this out as there's plenty of us with the same issue. It can't be a vacuum leak, I figure, as there's no CEL. Does anyone know if you cross the plug wires over each other the wrong way whether it could cause interference of some kind 
98.5 SVT now gone ... new wheels = 2005 330i

I had a problem with this for a few weeks. It was a miss, felt like a hesitation, bucking. Turns out two of my plug wires were mis-routed and on the wrong coil pack leads. I checked the Haynes manual, hooked them up right & the car has run perfect ever since.
The coil pack leads to the plugs is not a linear relationship. Two of the leads are swapped, so check your plug wires. Takes a few minutes to verify & could solve the problem. If you find that your leads are switched, replace the plugs in those locations. Good chance they've been damaged by the mis-fires.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

well, there's no chance my plug wires are on wrong, since the cars been running right since i had them put on. However, it's been almost 2 years so their age might have something to do with it. i just dont' understand why it's only at low rpm, whilst "spirited" driving.

OK! sorry to bump an old topic, but here goes:
On my way back from downtown, the car started running hot.. I mean all the sudden, I'm redlining, so it cuts off, and I coast it into the nearest spot off the freeway. Pop the hood, and look for the source of the steam; its a busted top-radiator hose. I mean it literally "popped" at the joint. Soooooo.. I went to pick-a-part, and pulled one off of a 96, not a purty as a brand new one, but also not as expensive ($3.50 vs $27.95), and works fine. I also had to replace the starter (brand new: Autozone-$117.96-Motorcraft). I did all that last night, finished it up, and tried to fire it up.. well not enough kick in the battery to turn it over.. So i tried again today, I finally get it fired up, and it's runnin hot again. I also had a beuatiful display of chalk white smoke come out of the rear end LOL. soo. I'm gonna take out the thermostat, and see if maybe it's blocked up, but I also went searching through the archives, and saw that the WP on my car is prone to go out.. Does it make a squeaking sound when it's about to fail? I'm also guessing that NAPA carries the cheapest replacement? anyway, someone's $.02 wouldnt hurt. Ty for the time.

Hi,
I just had a 2800$ Trany + Clutch replacememnt, and two new alternators. The car was running good for 2 weeks. Now everytime I am driving, when I take off (5spd) if I give it too much gas (which is halfway down on pedal) the car starts bucking (hard mind-you) and will do it through 3rd, unless I barely give it gas. I've been told by a guy at autozone that it is do to my "Vacuum hose." Any ideas on if this is correct? If you need more details, please ask. As far as I know that's all the car does. If it IS the vacuum hose, then i'm curious as to if this easy to replace, or let my mechanic do it? Thanx in advance for the  !
