Default New Owner B7 '08 --ROugh Idle --is this normal

Just got my car ('07 B8 w/ Tiptronic)--love it --had the local Audi dealer do a PPI on it, everything checked out fine--so said they.
It was delivered back to the dealer who I purchased it from as they had to paint the spoiler (rock chips)--I then picked it up a couple days later.
I grab the keys and drive away--I then noticed a sort of rough idle--vibrations--at say a stop sign its a sub 1000 rpm--as soon as I bring up the rpm's the vibrations go away. IS this normal for this car/engine?
Anyone ever heard of it? I need to take it in if this doesnt sound kosher as I only have a 30 day warranty and I am leaving for 2 weeks on vacation.
What do you guys think?

Feels and sounds a little bit like a TDI/diesel? Yeah, that's normal. Mine smooths out a bit once it warms up, but it's always there a bit.
