Causes for juddering may be: 1) Uneven idle, but on a four cylinder car, you would notice the engine shaking if that were the case. 2) Failing guibo, which is the rubber cushion between the transmission and the driveshaft, but those rarely fail on 318s. That is a common M3 problem. 3) Non-OEM clutch facing that does not engage smoothly. Usually worse when cold or damp. Has your clutch been replaced? 4) Heat damage to the flywheel. This is the worst-case scenario because the flywheel for this car cannot be machined and a new one costs about $1000. If that is the case, I would just put up with it.

My 2004 Mazda 2 automatic is intermittently juddering when changing gear, any ideas?

run the fault codes
it the transmission oil has not been changed in the last 60,000 lms , it may be worth having the transmission serviced as what you describe is one of the symptoms of dirty oil

What is causing a couple of second judder when accelerating away after changing from 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th gear ?

it may be from failing engine mounts allowing the engine to misalign the drive shaft under acceleration and allowing problems in the cv joints or "U" joint

I have a 2011 meriva 1.7 cdti automatic, but when I go up hill it starts to judder,if I ease on the gas it is ok,there are no warning lights on, it's only just started doing it

It's a gearing issue. Throw it into a lower gear and take your time going up the hill. On my 1999 Prizm I use second gear for any hill. It just can not handle the load in a higher gear.
