Does the rev counter stay stable or does it fluctuate?
I'll have to check this again, but I'm pretty sure the rev needle remains in the same place - whether it's in D and rocking or M/S and smooth

Still feel it could be contributed to by NIC, possible engine mount issues, not unknown.

PS. Just a thought, not a simple engine acoustic cover rattle, or similar vibration? I'd get someone to take a look under the bonnet while you take it through the various states.

Something so simple is not uncommon.
Yes its a 530d

a friend has a 330d auto, i'll have to take it out for a ride see if that behaves the same

I do have AUC warranty but I'm a bit reluctant to take it to them incase they say its normal behaviour, no fault found, heres a bill for wasting our time!?
