Stutter in passing gear

Any ideas? N63 and when pushing it a bit in passing gear, feels like it stutters. Thanks

Could be coils or plugs. Plugs only last about 30k miles.

I have a similar issue, but in the form of a random 'shutter' at idle. How much do coils cost? I do not really wanna dump $800 (maybe someone will inform me they do not cost that much) into something that may not fix my issue. Is there any solid troubleshooting for coils on these cars? Like a resistance check or maybe even a special tool to check the coil? Thanks.

Too much of a coincidence to ignore - I'd start by having them inspect if all plugs were installed correctly, maybe one of them wasn't torqued to spec and has come loose? What error codes were stored?

I agree and not happy about the back and forth to dealership. Thankfully, car is covered for another 50k miles. I do not have a code reader so rely on dealer.

so you didn't take it right back to the dealer and say 'fix your error for free, thanks'?

Why did they replace the plugs? Preventive maintenance or were you experiencing issues. I would have them re look at their work. They suck.

Part of the maintenance program. Obviously they did something wrong.

They might not have necessarily caused the issue, let play optimistic and assume its a new issue.

Have you taken it in yet?
