Engine Performance problem
2000 BMW 318 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 125000 kms

I have a 2000 bmw 318i automatic which all of a sudden will hardly go when cold and seems fine when it warms up
Occasionally it also seems to stutter when going up steep hills
Please advise

Check the throttle position/MAF/MAP sensor to include the fuel pressure
