2024 BMW i4 eDrive40 — anyone else: Shudder at light throttle around 40 mph

I get a light shudder at steady throttle around 35–45 mph. If I accelerate harder or lift off, it goes away. Trying to figure out whether this sounds more like torque-converter behavior, engine misfire, or tires. What am I missing?

I'd want a measurement, not a hunch. A pressure test beats staring at a dry driveway if the 2024 BMW i4 is losing coolant with no puddle. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. If it repeats twice more I'll book time.

Log the conditions before you spend. Get a real battery/charging test on the 2024 BMW i4, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. On “anyone else: shudder at light throttle around,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Stop there until you know. If your situation is the opposite, ignore me. Not interested in a five-hour wait for a shrug.

OP update: scanned the 2024 BMW i4 again and still only have the one pending code, no new lights. I refuse to clear codes until someone else sees them.
