R50/53 Vibration level at idle: is this normal (video inside)

Vibration level at idle: is this normal (video inside)
Trying to figure out what can be done to reduce the vibration level of my newly rebuilt W11. New mounts, stock damper (ATI damper in plans), new (rebuilt) accessory belt tensioner, no AC. Idle RPM is at 750.
When I was rebuilding the engine, I weighed each piston / rod and they all were within +- 10 grams from each other.
Is this normal? My wife complains that it works like a tractor No codes, otherwise works fine.

Ok, I think I've fixed it! Here are new videos, after the fix:
And the cause was..... Yep, the front (right) hydraulic engine mount! I already replaced it before, but I used an aftermarket mount from RockAuto ("Beck&Arnley" one). It seems like it is.... crap! Once I put a new OEM one back (Corteco), vibration inside the car is gone. I didn't even need to replace the vibration damper (at least, not this time).
