Are they both manual or auto? Could just be the Vanos kicking in and out... maybe it's got a sticky valve?

I dont think Vanos is noticable enough to be called a "surge of power"

True enough Philip. It's possible that since they are both auto that they are both low on fluid as well. That would be a typical sign of low tranny fluid.
