Default Car Kicks when accelerating

I would really appreciate if any of you guys can have insight on this. So recently i noticed that my car kicks when im accelerating while im driving, it happens anytime and speed while im pressing down on the gas. i have the car cpo from bmw. my question is, could this be a transmition problem? would cpo cover any transmition issues if it had to be replaced. i previously went to a local dealer to top off the coolant since it was low, he informed me that i had a leak and it needed to be resolved. could that have caused it? my car has 58,000 miles on it. Any help would be appreciated.

Xi model? Rwd? Either way, sounds like a transmission issue. You're also going to want to get those cooling system leaks fixed! Start with replacing the reservoir. This is a simple DIY that most owners can tackle.

It's a 528xi? I'm going to call the dealership tomorrow, I'm curious to know if all will be covered by cpo or do I have to pay out of pocket.

Leak in coolant.... can lead to an overheating trans. There is a trans coolant pipe. Overheated trans leads to issues.
