There could be several reasons for engine hesitation in a BMW 3 Series. One common cause is a dirty air filter, which can restrict airflow to the engine. Another possibility is a worn fuel pump or clogged fuel filter, which can affect the fuel delivery to the engine. It's also possible that there could be an issue with the ignition system, such as worn spark plugs or a faulty ignition coil.

My advice would be to first have a qualified mechanic check for any error codes in your vehicle's computer. These codes can provide valuable information about the source of the hesitation. If there are no error codes, then I recommend starting with a basic tune-up, including changing the air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, and spark plug wires. If the issue persists, it may be necessary to have a more in-depth diagnosis performed by a BMW specialist.

Based on my personal experience, engine hesitation in a BMW 3 Series can also be caused by a failing mass airflow sensor. This sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine and sends this information to the engine computer to regulate fuel delivery. If the sensor is faulty, it can cause rough running and hesitation. I recommend having this component checked and replaced if necessary.
