I get bucking from time to time from a start in low speed...super annoying. Happens in M mode in 1st gear. Delay/jump/delay/jump. If I let off the gas and try again or put into another mode, goes right away. Only happens on initial starts down the road, infrequently. Anyone else?
Damn wet clutch

Same here. My wife already accused me of modifying the car behind her back.

Yes I have, but my dealer blamed my "Aftermarket Radar Detector", even though it was the third time i brought the car in and only got the detector installed a week before I brought it in for the forth time. Oh and they also blamed my "entry and go" keyless intermittently working on the fact that I have a radar detector.

And yes it is bad when you are on a round about (intersection for you guys) and the car just sits there.., when you give it gas...give more gas then its just a sudden
I have not tried it, but I would assume since the car mimics manuals, manually selecting gears and selecting the right one, might resolve it.
Thing is I can not replicate it. Just seems to happen from time to time when going in stop and go traffic and when you come to a stop or slow down, then accelerating again

Yup, pretty much an ongoing "trait" of the mct
Not a "problem" or an "issue"
...just an unfavorable trait

I don't have an AMG, but I read this area to have something to look forward to. . .
I do have a 2015 E400 bi-turbo, and the car exhibits these exact same traits. It is especially bad when going very slow (like coming up to a stop) and then giving it gas. It sort of feels like an old-time carburetor car with a bad accelerator pump. It just "tips in" and does nothing, but then a couple of seconds later, goes like crazy. I find that if I let up on the throttle and then get back onto it, it runs fairly normally.
Oh, well. . . at least I know it isn't me or something uniquely wrong with my car. I'm in good company.
