Acceleration issues/Chugging

Hello everyone,

I just purchased my 2013 R56 last year with 36k miles. I am now out of warranty and just hit 50,250 miles. This past month I have been having some type of accelerating issues. At least once a week when I am accelerating the car will start to chug and feel like it is going to stall, but does not. It quickly chugs, I get into gear, and it is then good to go. I have NO idea what the issue could be. I have taken it to the dealer once, however, they said they cannot duplicate the issue. Any suggestions or similar issues? Thank you

Spark plugs...still original ones ????

These Turbo S models over time will actually create larger spark plug gaps as the electrodes deteriorate.....

Swap them out every 35-40K miles.

Thanks for the info! Mine is not and S however. Any ideas on how to check if the spark plugs are good? I'm considering changing our myself, but I want to make sure I'm not missing any other poetential issues.
