7th gear vibration at 2800 rpms is normal
Just wanted to share: I got a 13' CPO GL450 w/appearance pack, no offroad pack.
So, at 98mph a very un-mercedes like vibrationcan be felt. It goes away after 105 or if you downshift to 6th.
Took my local service manager for a test ride. He noticed it. Then we drove another cpo 13' 450 and it did the same...
kudos to The dealer BTW - they have handled this issue very well so far (new country htfd. CT)
So I'm at an impasse...they are going to open a service inquiry, but I don't think much will come of it.

The '13 models were the first year of the new model redesign. The vibrations and issues are expected. I got the '15 550 model and the vibration is little to no vibration on comfort. I keep it on sport mode because i like some vibration to keep me awake

I've been trying to get a similar vibration issue resolved to no affect. Yes, also '13 model. But, one type of vibration doesn't necessarily equal another. Mine is more "cell phone" like and it does occur at various speeds.
