Stock Problems/IssuesDiscussions related to warranty related issues and repairs, or other problems with the OEM parts and software for MINI Cooper (R50), Cabrio (R52), and Cooper S (R53) MINIs.
No one here has mentioned simply getting the idle bumped up a few hundred rpm.........did it for mine after getting the poly bushings cause it shaked a bit at idle with a/c on. Doesn't do it now...
I would call that more a vibration than shake. All engines vibrate more or less. You can go back to softer mounts to absorb the vibration or get used to it. I wouldn’t increase idol. That’s just creating another issue to correct issue. There are trade offs when you modify an OEM vehicle.
