Default Car setup?

Ok my car seems to be set-up a little low as far as idling........i need some feedback on what other 98+ A4's are set-up to see whats going on.....here is mine:

Park: 600 rpms
Drive:500 rpms
Drive with A/C on:450 rpms

I think my car is idling way to low. In park everything seems perfect, but once i put it into drive it starts ticking and slightly vibrating the car like it is going to stall out.......I'm just wondering what other people who have a stock tranny and motor what they show as rpms?

Sounds about right, at least compared to mine.

I sold my A4 car about a year ago, but if memory serves, that's right about what she idled at. Is this out of the ordinary for your car?

Thanks guys.....no i dont think its out of the ordinary.....its one of those things you dont notice until one day you start pinpointing every little sound.......but it doesnt tick or shake during park so i figured everything is ok.
