Jerking while accelerating in my BMW 1

Hello everyone, I have a BMW 1, model year 2008, with a gasoline engine and a mileage of 129,000 km. When accelerating, I notice a jerking. Has anyone had similar experiences or knows what could be the cause? Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Check the spark plugs first, as worn or faulty spark plugs can cause jerking during acceleration. If they look worn out, consider replacing them. Let us know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance.

I have replaced all four pieces. It's better, but it still stutters a bit!

Since replacing the spark plugs improved the situation but didn't fully resolve it, the next step is to inspect the ignition coils. A failing ignition coil can cause similar symptoms. Check for any visible damage or wear, and consider testing them to ensure they're functioning properly. Let us know how it goes or if you need more help!

Thank you very much. Can you please tell me how I can test the ignition coil with CARLY?

To test the ignition coils with CARLY, connect the CARLY adapter to your car's OBD-II port and open the CARLY app on your device. Navigate to the diagnostics section and run a full scan to check for any fault codes related to the ignition system. If any codes are present, they can help identify if an ignition coil is malfunctioning. Let us know if you find any fault codes or need further assistance!

So I filled up with super plus fuel and drove over 160 km/h... everything's fine, everything's gone. Thank you.
