Dealership porter picked up the car this morning. The vibration is very rhythmic and exists on asphalt the same as it exists on concrete so I don't really buy that argument. Over the course of a roughly 800 mile road trip I was able to drive long stretches on both surfaces at highway speed. During the process with the other vehicle, I was given a plain-ol-vanilla '21 330 loaner car that drove as smooth as silk on the same roads I was having issues with on with the 540.

We shall see.
