My G31 has also used some coolant and it is also hesitating (intermittently) under gentle acceleration, especially from cold. I had the same issue with my previous F11 and the EGR valve / cooler had to be replaced. So I suspect it's the same problem.

It's booked in at the dealer in a couple of weeks time. As has already been mentioned there is a back log of at least a few weeks for a replacement EGR valve due to the recall on F series cars.

Whilst there are no specific recalls for the G30 in the relation to the EGR, it would appear that the problem is also affecting some of these cars as well.

As said earlier in the thread it's not normal for cars to use coolant under regular operating conditions. The only cars I've put coolant in for the past 300,000k miles have been the ones with a faulty EGR cooler!
