    Weird E36 M3 EVO Problem

    Hi I own a 1996 Bmw M3 Evo. S50B32 Engine

    If Im driving in 1st gear and I put my foot down all the way the car pulls from 1k to 3k rpm fine but then from 3k to 7k it feels like its hesitating and not accelerating like it should.

    Where as if I'm in 2nd gear and do the same thing it pulls very good through the entire rev range (No Hesitation).

    Anyone know what this could be?

    As I recall, power is throttled back a bit by the DME while in first gear. Have you had the car scanned?
