Slight engine hesitation.

Hi everyone. I've a 05 3.0d x5 that hesitates ever so slightly at low revs when pulling away from stop.
It happens at about 1200 to 1300 revs in all gears.
Fuel filter?
Fuel pump?
Injectors?
Thanks.

I would say change the fuel filter aswell! When I changed my fuel filter the cars performance improved aswell as the mpg!  8)

out of curiosity, how often does the x5 need a fuel filter change?. when there is an issue or at inspections?

I change mine every service but don't think they need changing that often!
