Default 2014 with vibration

2014 convertible, 5k miles. yesterday while driving on smooth level road 65-70, started getting a cyclical vibration which would start low frequency, build and diminish then start again. first thought might be tire related but it eventually went away. Felt like drive train and shook the front of car. Any similar experiences?

here is the tsb on it. Very critical to fix asap. Leads to total transmission failure. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...qZxhZHb6_4S5eg

The TSB seems to be for the A8. The 2014 has the A6. I don't think the TSB shown is applicable to the A6.

I have a 2014. It sounds familiar. When I drive it Tuesday night on the freeway to work, I'll pay attention.

I get something like that. I think it's a well out of balance, and plan to take it to the dealer for a rebalance. Usually a balance problem, you can "drive through it" meaning it shows up around 60 and goes away around 70 to 75.
