Hey guys.

I got this car just after New Year. It's 2004 520i. As far as I remember, this occured just like month ago, when I started to notice, that I always have to be concentrated on how I work with gears, not to get this "kangaroo" feeling.. I hope I can explain this correctly (sorry if I sound a bit messy, it's just that I'm Lithuanian . So here we go.. When I shift from first to second gears, or second to third I get this kangaroo feeling, just like I would be driving for the first time and pressing accelerator not strong enough. Even so, when driving very slow in like second gear, when I touch accelerator and then release it, car gives again this stall / shake / jolt (used google translator here..) feeling. Same with third gear. Changed spark plugs, didn't help. Mehanic told me changing oil might help. My mate said it looks like car starts to "stall" because of the wrong fuel intake or something. I hope you understand what I'm talking about in here, because I am not the best person to talk about engines.. Cheers for your opinions.

Thank you,
Ramunas.
