Loud engine vibration felt on steering wheel (3.5-liter 2GR-FE V6)

I have 2009 RX350 FED and i am experiencing exactly the same issue as yours. The vibration is lesser if the head light is turned on. The is not what i expected from Lexus.

Just a quick update:
The van has 14k miles and nothing has improved.
Last dealer i saw, took out all the engine mounts, inspected them (ok) and told me that the engine block was tilted a little bit to one side, he put everything back and install the engine with the right angle but nothing improved.
I called Toyota HQ and they told me to speak to the service manager and ask him to use their special technical support line that only services managers can access.
I did that and he told me that he will call back, i am still waiting.
As i said before, this same problems has some Lexus RX350's and still i haven't found a solution.
One thing i know it's not the engine, because it is quite and very powerful.
Maybe the transmission?
If anyone can help me with this, i would really appreciate it because this slight vibration drives me insane and it's still felt on the steering wheel (at 700rpm) and on the interior door panels (at 600-650rpm)
thanks
