Rough idle?
Do C32's idle a little rough? I test drove one other C32, and it idled the same as the one that I eventually bought, so I thought it was normal. However, this thread has me worried:

When I say rough idle, I'm not referring to the tach needle jumping. I mean that when I'm stopped in traffic, the car just idles a little rough, as in the car shakes a small (but noticable) amount, kind of like that scene in Jurassic Park with the cup of water when the T-rex is coming, lol.

mine idles rough too. I asked the dealer about it, and they replaced the engine mounts, but it still idles rough when in gear and at a light. Its not like a wild camshaft rough, but it does shake occasionally.

I noticed that about my car as well, I thought it was normal. Its kinda like a rumbly idle like you described. Not really a fluctuating idle with the needle actually jumping. More like a rolling rumble. I notice it when I'm stopped at stoplights. Hmm..so its not normal?
