No, the 3.0 that I drove did not have any hesitation that I could detect. I was looking for this, as I drove the 4.8 first, and the 4.8's hesitation was bad to the point of being scary. A push on the pedal, and nothing for a few milliseconds. BMW really needs to fix this, if this is in fact a problem that is widespread. My salesman claimed that this is a valvetronic problem, which is interesting...the 3.0 is valvetronic as well, and my brother's '06 750i, which is also valvetronic, has no hesitation at all....curious
