My Ride: July 01 2008 - Carbon Black "Batmobile" E60 - LCI 520D - M Sport - 18 Inch Wheels - Auto (New Joystick) -- M Rear Trunk Spoiler - Badge Deletion - 50% Front Doors 35% Rear Doors and 20% Rear Window - Windscreen with Green Shade Band - Folding, Tinted Mirrors - Porsche "Flamenco Rot" Nappa Leather (Door Cards, Arm Rests, Seat Facings and Center Arm Rest - Climate Control - USB 6FL - Bluetooth
Folks,
Need your expertise
and good counsel 
Somtimes in reverse, my LCI 520D M sport vibrates/shakes as I manouvre it with foot gently activating brake when parking. Problem does not occur on slow or brake controlled forward movements - ie car creeps forward slowly without gas pedal and without the vibration that I'm getting in reverse.
Also, sometimes I think I can feel it shaking slightly when at rest with engine running - or making more noise than I feel it should.
It's a pain in the ass and I have never experienced it in any other BMW self-shifter
Before, I spend my valuable time and brain cells listening to the drivel/bs
I get from local dealers; I thought I'd ask the real experts 
So guys, what do y'all think - idle speed or somthing?
Feedback appreciated
Car is now three mths old with 6,000 miles

The car is only 3 months old?? Take it to the dealer, it's THEIR problem! 
Let us know how it turns out!

I THINK I had similar problem with my 6er, I took it to dealer and they reset DME and gearbox back to factory settings. It fixed the problem.
Idle might be a problem, how low is your idle when cold and when hot? Does it idles rough? Does your tach needle fluctuates a bit back and forth?

firstForgive the lack of knwledge; but what is DME ?
Car is rough on idle - at times - needle hovers slightly at about 500rpm which I think is a tad low
