W212 Hesitation
Hey, I need a little help. I have been searching through some threads and it seems like my problem is a little different from others so here goes. (or direct me to the right thread please)
I recently purchased a 2010 E63 with about 21,000 miles. So far everything is great other then a slight hesitation I am experciencing. Anytime you barely step on the skinny pedal the cars seems to hesitation just slightly, about a second, and then goes. You can feel the hesitation and a slight vibration as the car tries to decide if it wants to go, change gears or whatever. It usually happens in just about any gear in the 1000-1500 rpm range and only when you just push the gas enough to make it go but not jump down a gear. (I have been reading that most people are experiencing a hesitation when they push the gas hard)
I have owned a few other Mercedes, never an AMG model, so I took it into the dealer the other day. They told me everything was good and that all AMG do this. I have "test driven" a few AMG and have never noticed this.
Any ideas?
Thanks from a new AMG owner

Thanks everyone. It's amazing how much more you can learn on here versus talking to the techs at the dealership. AMG8451, I read your post too. Txs. Now I feel a little better since I bought this car site unseen and had it shipped to me.
