Help: Who was misled? Is my second engine defective?

1) I would like to get an idea as to the number and percentage of us with defective engines that were misled into believing that they were getting a "NEW" engine only to receive a remanufactured engine.

2)My new engine has a problem. In 2nd, 3rd and higher gears the engines is not smooth during brisk (half-throttle, not floored)acceleration between 5500-8000rpm. It almost acts like fuel pressure is failing. BMW is trying to say that this is not a problem and normal. Does/Did anyone else's new or old engine do this?
