TRANSMISSION HESITATION ?

greetings , l have a problem with 2010 e63, when stopped at the lights sometimes the car feels like its in neutral because it doesn't go forward, when l press the accelerator it revs and goes into gear to go forward, it has been doing it for a while , done full service on transmission but still does it, any advice would be greatly appreciated

pretty common for the 2010 MCT wet clutch .. see this, guy experienced this on a 2 year old 2010 e63:

Try re-adapting the mct wet clutch first - can do this with xentry I believe. You may need a new wet clutch as well:

it certainly could be related to hardware wear and tear or failure but before you throw money, labor time, bloody knuckles, or parts at it:
- do an mct readaptation
- reset the tcu
- try and drive another 2010 e63 somewhere to see if it's the same as yours to ease your mind

If you just slow to a crawl and jump on the gas - does it still do this? Or only when you come to a complete stop?

if only at a complete stop then it's a wet clutch issue most likely as the WC disengages when brakes are completely applied. It would seem
then that the wet clutch is not engaging fast enough and may be the hardware problem
