228i hesitation/rpm drop under acceleration

finn228i · 04-09-2024, 03:08 PM

F22 228i manual rwd

So I’ve noticed that under hard acceleration my 228i seems to get around the 3-4k rpm area and maybe 1-2 times will drop a few hundred rpm for a split second before climbing back up but it give a noticeable loss in power. I’ve checked other forums and asked about but get many other answers so just wondering if anyone here has any ideas or has had a similar issue.

Answers I’ve had so far are spark plugs, injectors, fuel pump, dsc, engine knock prevention and clutch. Do any of these seem right?

Any help or ideas would be very much appreciated so I can try sort it myself before taking it into the garage

The problem with asking these questions is you will get many opinions but no concrete answers. The reason for that is we simply can't diagnose your car over the Internet. Take it to your favorite mechanic and have them properly diagnose the issue. Then you will know what it is and then if you decide to fix it yourself, you can get useful tips here.
