Best way for me to describe the feel is to imagine a manual car, foot on brake and clutch pushed fully down - then pulling your foot out to bring the clutch to the bite point, with brake pedal still firmly down the car would start to gently wobble/shake

If that makes sense that's the feeling I get! Like a slightly spluttery idle causing the car to wobble/shake slightly

I'm not sure if it's normal behaviour or not? It bugs me mainly because the six pot is imo a silky smooth refined engine and shouldn't rock/shake at a standstill?

The simple solution is it use auto handbrake and release foot from brake pedal when stopped. But it's nice sometimes to not use the auto handbrake!
