4matic vibration when stopped in gear

so my car has a vibration that can be felt through the floor, steering wheel and seat while stopped at traffic light or just sitting in gear (drive/reverse ) but as soon as I start to drive or shift to park/ neutral it goes away. The car drives fine otherwise and there no dash lights on, anyone experienced this ?
I had transmission serviced at the cars last visit to dealership. car has just over 62,000KM

Mine did this exact thing after lowering. I never did track it down, but I was assuming it was a part of the exhaust touching something, as I had to push around and tweak the exhaust pipe to install the rear coil springs.

I would check all your exhaust piping to make sure there's plenty of clearance and nothing got tweaked (something I never got around to doing myself, lol)

yeah I had to do the same thing, used a jack to push up it up out of the way. couldn't see anything out of place when I looked, will take closer look when adjusting coilovers.

Is it solved OP, did you figured out why there is such vibration, other than mounts?

nope but its. not as bad now hardly noticeable after an alignment. Lowering the car probably had something to do with it.

I give you 6 months before you need mounts. Lowering the car just made it obvious.
