Drive Train Vibration?
I have noticed a brief vibration between 750 and 800 RPMs when pulling out. Same thing happens if I rev to that rpm with brake on.
Now that I have my 500 mile break in period completed, I pulled out a bit more aggressively, and noticed the same vibration (through the floor/seat) at around 3800 rpm.
Anyone else experience this?

My Sister just got an '02 M6 Vert and it has the same condition. I noticed it when I drove it for the first time. I haven't had time to look into the reason or a fix but I know what you're talking about. And I haven't ever felt it happen in my car.

C5Cemo,
I was thinking it felt like a tranny vibration, but I have an A4.
I also heard a metal to metal "crunching" sound earlier today when I pulled out.
Also feels like there may be a wheel (slightly) out of balance.

Re: Drive Train Vibration? (ez)
That does sound different than what I've seen...no grinding over here just some vibration through the floor board and trans. tunnel. I hope you have a good dealer to go to and they will do something about it without too much time spent trying to prove it exists.
Good Luck

The "metal" sound happened just once. The vibration is everytime.
There will be no trouble proving the vibration.
I drove my other C5 for 26K miles and it never had a vibration, so they can't tell me it's "normal".

Re: Drive Train Vibration? (ez)
I posted about this earlier, only mine comes and goes for no aparent reason. I can only assume the exhaust is loose or something. I am going to have mine looked at at my next oil change.

Re: Drive Train Vibration? (BIG99)
I have notice a big vibration since the dealer rebuilt the engine and installed a new clutch.
Does the clutch have to be balanced when it's replaced? Sounds like a new thread coming on.
