This might be helpful to some of you with rough idle. Took to dealer last week and this is what they did:
SIB # 11 07 06 (Insufficient valvetronic adaptation)
"Calibration of the valvetronic eccentric shaft and adjustment of valvetronic minimum lift"

Result: Car is running like it should, no shaking nor vibration; for what it is worth it did take care of my rough idle. Have your dealers look into it if necessary give them the SIB.

Good luck!

Thanks for sharing Val. Good to know. I assume they did this under warranty.
