It sounds to me like a misfire event. Tell them to run a smoothness test (and print it) and if they say its OK verify the running against a new one in their stock.

The local dealer had a very peculiar event on a W211:
The brand new car presented a general vibration when driven (not only the seats). They performed every imaginable test to see what was the culprit.
Finally, after all tests showed OK, they decided to remove all interior panels.
They found out that the B-pillar on the left side (between the driver and rear doors) did not have a single weld point (was completely loose and unattached from the roof).
So, I would definitely not dismiss a failed or not properly mounted engine or transmission mount (if a B-pillar can come out of the factory like that).
