2nd gear wont pull properly

[crazy4406]

i have recently purchased a used 2000 328ci manual now when i accelerate in
first everything seems ok once i pop it into second gear and step on the gas
there is jerking btwn 1000 - 2000 rpm the only way i can manage out of this is
if i acccelerate really slowly until have reached about 25-30 miles per hour den
i can step on it but btwn 15-25 mph in second gear i cant accelerate at full
throttle if i do the car begins to shake and jerk. the person i bought the car
from had recently replaced all 6 spark plugs and the number 2 and 5 ignition
coils. any1 have any idea what the problem may be?

I don't mean to sound insulting, but are you sure you are shifting correctly? What rpm level are you shifting into 2nd? Try staying in 1st until 3k and then shifting into second, see if that solves it.

Does it do it in any other gear or only 1 to 2?

If I shift too quickly and I step on the gas, I get jerking... not usually 1 to 2 though.

I agree, I think you are shifting at too low RPM. If you are only turning 1000 rpm in 2nd gear and floor it, it will buck like a bronco.
