Why does my BMW 2 Series engine sputter during acceleration?

My 2017 BMW 218i starts to sputter o r hesitate when I accelerate, especially on uphill roads o r during overtaking. It’s more noticeable when the AC is on. Could this be due to low-quality fuel o r a clogged injector?

Sputtering during acceleration is often caused by:

Faulty spark plugs o r ignition coils

Clogged fuel injectors

Dirty throttle body o r MAF sensor

In Pakistan, this is commonly due to:

Poor fuel quality

Delayed maintenance schedules

Low-grade aftermarket parts

Get a fuel system cleaning, check spark plugs especially NGK/Bosch types used in BMWs, and scan for misfire codes with a BMW-specific tool.
