Hesitation when pulling off

[X5 Sport]

Mine does this some times too. I notice most when I pull onto roundabouts.

The car doesn't respond as it should and instead of progressively increasing speed, it moves forward at only 2 or 3 mph. As this has happened when joining fast moving traffic, this has left me no choice but to floor it. The engine is warmed up when this happens.

Another thing to consider is the throttle pedel.
As the throttle is electronic (i.e. no mechanical link to engine), a fault on the pedel may result in no pedal position information getting to the ECU/engine, therefore no acceleration.

Just a thought.
