My MINI looses power at the beginning of second gear until the car warms up a bit. It's not a shifting-too-soon thing, nor does it sound like a "surging" thing.
It's more like I have power, lose it for a second, then get it back. Sound familiar? Is this a fuel injector thing or a plugs thing (I'm due to change them) or what?
Changing the plugs would be a good first step, not to expensive, and easy.
When I changed mine, I noticed power to be more even, and smoother. Originals had 100k miles on them. But I did not have the issue you are talking about.
