Vibrations after lowering kit install.

For those of you who had their cars lowered, have you noticed any rough idle or vibrations coming into the cabin when the car is in Drive and idling? This issue has popped up after my install, and there are vibrations in the cabin only when the car is in drive and at a stop. If I shift into Neutral the vibrations go away, while driving there are no vibrations. Only when idling at a stop. A search came back with possible Axle shaft/ drive shaft misalignment in the joint as a possible cause. This could be due to a improper install by the shop I used, but I'm not sure. Car is going to the dealer today to figure out what the issue is, but has anyone had this issue? 2014 E63 4matic

I'm lowered on Renntech HAS and no noticeable vibration in Drive/Idle. Hope the dealer can find the issue.

No vibration here either. Sounds like trans/motor mounts to me.

My car had both motor mounts replaced in February last year, so I doubt it's the motor mounts. Maybe the trans mount, we'll find out today.

sometimes the exhaust piping may be touching on the center aluminum brace, causing vibration.

I got some vibration at the exhaust tips after resonator delete and lowering so I don't know exactly which one has caused the vibration.

check near the middle end of your car maybe your pipes are touching the aluminium bridge.

yes that brace right there, if the pipes are rubbing on it, that will cause the in cabin vibrations, or else retorque the strut tower or the strut to the spindle.
