Sounds like you have a bent rim or not properly balanced tire. I would take it to a tire shop and have them spin all the wheels. while they are spinning inspect the wheels inner barrels for any unevenness, also the same with the tread make sure it spins evenly. If it doesnt know that you will need to get that wheel straightened out by a wheel repair shop.

Many tire shops will try to cover up bent wheels with lots of weights. So I personally would inspect each wheel

Sounds like he has it in drive but with the brakes on... Maybe an issue with the drive shaft?

Could be as simple as a motor mount.

sounds like motor mount...

FWIW kddang, just because the car's lowered doesn't mean it will vibrate...

GS430, 140k miles, i can slam it to the floor, about rim to wheel barrel with NO vibrations...

Sounds like motor mount IMO.
