when i'm coming to a stop at around 25mph i take my foot off the gas and apply the brake very lightly, when the rpm's reach between 1000 and 2000 it flickers up and down a few times and i feel a slight hesitation...... i hope thats descriptive enough to help you guys with an answer??? other than that the car is as smooth as silk

cheers

Maybe what you feel is the transmission downshifting as you decelerate?

That could be very possible, as mine does that as well, from time-to-time. Keep an eye on it and if it just doesn't feel right, then take it to the dealer....as painful as that sounds... But with these expensive cars...it happens...
