New Mini! Shaking while engaging clutch

Hey everyone! I'm the proud new owner of a mini R60! On the way home I noticed some strange things. When engaging the clutch there is some intense vibration that goes away as soon as the car starts moving. At first I thought this was just the clutch being bad (which I fully expected) however the clutch doesn't slip at all even when I step on it in any gear. Does anyone know what this could be? It makes no noises, just shakes the car as its coming from a dead stop.

As a side note it is INCREDIBLY smooth at any speed, its literally just shaking when going from a dead stop.

its a 2014 with 100k. I'm not thinking its clutch related though, there's no vibration in the clutch pedal, only through the car. I have a new Engine torque arm mount coming since mine seems to have excessive movement. Hopefully that fixes it but I'm open to other suggestions.

Any updates on this? I just got a 2012 R60 and have the EXACT SAME problem. I already replaced the motor mounts and that didn't help. Going to replace the torque mount next, we'll see if they helps!
