Welcome! I have a 2014 328d. I love it. 66,000 miles. I bought it new in late 2013.

I did need the transfer case replaced twice. I would get hesitation that was linked to the transfer case. No issues since the replacement about $20k ago. I think this was rare though.

The brakes stink IMO. I'm due for rear brakes for the second time. First time at 37,000 (front and rear) and the second time now at 66,000 (rear only). I plan on replacing them myself with non-OEM. We'll see if that helps. My 2007 335 had almost 100k on it on the factory brakes.

High mileage especially on a diesel would not worry me too much. I'd be more worried about low miles on a d.

What where the hesitation symptoms you had? Every so often it feels like nothing happens when I hit the gas, like I won't make it through the intersection, then it lurches like a rocket and I zip across. I was chocking it up to throttle lag and adaptation. It is not there all the time and seems to be better if I reset the throttle. Thanks!

I would notice very slight drops in power. They were just for a split second. It was only noticeable until moderate to high throttle such as merging onto the highway. I never would have connected the issue to the transfer case. It must be a known issue. The tech disconnected the transfer case and the issue went away.

The lag that you mention happens to me once in a while. I see someone else said to give it more gas or that you are in the wrong gear but that is not the case in my experience. I know what you are talking about.

One time was at a dead stop and put my foot right to the floor and almost nothing happened. It doesn't always happen but I have noticed it.

There is some lag build into the throttle. 3rd party companies sell kits to wire into the throttle to help with this issue.
