Strange drivetrain “kick” when letting off gas, normal or issue F30 340i?

Strange drivetrain “kick” when letting off gas, normal or issue F30 340i?

I have a 2016 BMW 340i (RWD, no xDrive) with around 130,000 km.
I’m having an issue where the car makes a pretty harsh short jerk almost like a kick when letting off the throttle, especially in Sport and Sport+. Sometimes it even feels like a hit to the transmission.

Could this be the differential? Not enough transmission oil? Bad mounts?
Transmission oil, spark plugs, and engine oil were all changed recently.
As far as I know, the differential oil has never been changed.

Running MHD Stage 1 but even with stock software this persists.

No cold-start issues or anything else unusual.

Has anyone experienced something like this?
