I own a 2008 Mini Cooper S R56. I recently upgraded the plugs & coils to Brisk Racing plugs & IP Performance Ignition Coils. I thought I would see that crisp acceleration like when the car had a few less miles on it however it bucks & hesitates badly on acceleration..... I spoke with Brisk and they said set the plug gap to .028. The car is stock, the only mods are a K&N filter, upgraded turbo hoses & plugs & coils....
Any advice...

Try installing your old plugs to see if the condition changes.
If not, try installing the old coils to see if the condition changes.
This will help removing these items as potential causes....
