Sharp hesitation/jerk in 3rd

My wife told me the car was doing this weird quick stall/hesitation then a sharp jerk while in 3rd gear. Then, tonight I was riding with her and it did it!

Almost felt like a 'fuel flow' issue or something. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks, I am a 'BMW fanatic' and always thought the MINI was pretty cool, so when it was time, we bought a CM for my wife. BUT, between the horrible chrome defect (which has yet to be fixed) and now this - I am getting pissed at the quality of the brand. Not exactly what I expected from a $34k car - or a BMW owned company!!!
