Question 2015 BMW x3 28i Acceleration Issue

Hi, I have a 2015 bmw x3 28i s drive and I'm experiencing issues with my acceleration. It doesn't happen the whole time I drive, but I typically notice issues when I go to accelerate after a slow or dead stop. I can get up to 3 or 4 rpm and only be at 30mph, and I can start to feel the engine jerk, but it's very slight and hard to tell unless you're driving.
Yesterday when I was driving, I was trying to pick up speed and was going around 30/40mph and I got all the way between 6 and 7 Rpm. I have no engine lights on and bmw couldn't find anything wrong with the car when I brought it in. I also brought it to another mechanic shop in February because I noticed my rpm's were very high and I could be pressing the pedal to the floor, and my car would still only be going 15mph. They told me I had a small leak from my sunroof that caused my gas pedal to freeze and that's why I was probably experiencing this.
Along with the acceleration, occasionally when I'm braking my car's rpm can start jumping higher. It's not usually a big jump, but it will go up between a 1/2 and full rpm
I can tell something is definitely wrong, but I don't know what it could be. Has anyone experienced an issue with their x3 or bmw like this?

I had the same problem with my x3 2012 2.8i. I couldnt get speed. Turned out to be an abs sensor. Scan it.

Does it happen all the time or only intermittently?

When that happens again, check your brakes. Stop the car and see if the wheels are hot.

I have a problem with my 2011, the rear brakes randomly stick.

I got an abs unit, front brakes, and a brand-new hydraulic system in November of 2021 because my car kept engaging the brakes on its own. Do you think the abs unit I got could be faulty or is there a different abs sensor for accelerating & braking?
Also, I've gotten it scanned at bmw and autozone, but no error codes show up.
