Hi there,
I have a 4.8i with approx. 7,000 miles on it. I often get some hesitation when starting from a complete stop and also some lag before getting slammed into the back of my seat when trying to get around someone quickly in city driving maneuvers. I also note that sometimes it just doesn't accelerate smoothly - kind of choppy like I have bad gas or something.

What gives?
