Sputters/power cut offs at higher rpms

Hi all,

I’m new here and recently got my 2012 M5 which I absolutely adore. In 2 months put 5k kms on it including a round trip to Austria (from Amsterdam) and the car is brilliant.

However, I notice one thing and that is that the car has short (< 1 sec) but quite heavy/intense power cut-offs/sputters when getting above 4.5/5k rpm in at least 3rd/4th gear. It happens both full throttle but also when revving it more slowly/gently. No fault codes or ECL light comes up. Otherwise the car runs faultlessy. Tried different fuels/RONs without any luck. The car is fully standard, no mods whatsoever

Anyone any idea what this can be?

Thanks a lot!

Best,
Joep
