Default car shaking at idle

Hey fellow Audi owners

I just bought an 2017 Audi s7 and I have about 400 miles on it and when the car is idling the whole car shakes is anyone else having this problem. The dealership said that theres nothing wrong. Please help!

Is there another dealer nearby?

My A7 with the 6 cylinder engine is smooth all the time. Before I installed the aftermarket exhaust, I couldn't tell if the engine was running. Your 8 cylinder engine should be as smooth if not smoother with the additional two cylinders. Best guess is a motor mount problem.

I have the AWE Touring exhaust. It's quiet when cruising and lets you know when the pedal is down.

No (modern) car should be shaking around when its sitting idling.

I have an S7, sure you will HEAR the engine, as it sits purring on the driveway. It absolutely does not shake around.

Book a dealer visit asap!

I also have no vibration in my 2016 S7, it is one of the smoothest engines I have ever had. Time to find a better service department.
