My 2.3L engine has a fairly significant vibration at just over 2000rpm...I am guessing around 2050.
As soon as I rev the engine past 2000, it smooths out, and below 2000 its fine as well. I can only feel the vibration when the car is in neutral
could someone please try it and let me know if it has same problem

I have engine vibration at low rpms but I have the StreetUnit engine mount installed. Maybe it's just a symptom of not enough gas?
During idle in neutral I do sometimes get engine vibration, but it's not a big deal to me (because of the SU engine mount). Do you only notice it while in neutral with the A/C on?

take it to your dealer.
sounds like the mounts.
I haven't experienced vibration only in neutral, so I am unsure as to which mount it could be.

First of all may I ask; Why on earth would you be revving your engine to 2000+ rpm in neutral? ...absolutely no need for that! atleast not steady at that rpm to notice a vibration!
I would suspect since it happens only in neutral and not when driving, that it is 'not' a mount...a bad mount would be noticed more under load...i.e; in gear....but you never know!
It could be just a consequence of a large displacemnet 4 cylinder! ...We have counter-balance shafts in our 3's, but there might be slight frequency vibrations still getting thru at certain rpms....2000rpm may be one of those areas.....so it may be normal.
