Hi CL!
3IS owner here with a 205 IS250. Exact same symptoms as the older IS’s and the dealership cannot understand what is happening.
Any other 3IS 250 owners here experiencing the same issue? Vehicle has 70k km (Canada) and all plugs and packs replaced. Issue still comes up (p306)

Oil changed at recommended toyota intervals (8000kms)
Coilpack assembly does not have wires
Update - Dealer removed intake manifold assembly to inspect valves. Low and behold carbon build up on the intake valves spotted. Dealer is removing the head for further inspection but it seems like this is all covered under my powertrain warranty. The money spent on coilpacks and plugs is being refunded (hopefully). Will give details once I get more news this week.

It's cover within the sales date of the vehicle, up to 9 years. Meaning as long as within 9 years, and 364 days!! However, the dealer will need to test the vehicle to replicate the engine shake/rough idle. I recommend you try to replicate the problem on your own before bringing it to the dealer. Or if your vehicle generate a code, then you might be good.
Good luck!

For those of us who have the carbon buildup and have been abating it with sea foam treatments..
Valvoline has a service called EasyGDI that is supposed to help with this by treating the issue with their own intake spray treatment.
Not sure if anyone has heard of it before, but it is detailed here : https://www.easygdi.valvoline.com/
I called my local Valvoline Instant Oil Change and they offer the service for $75, and reportedly it can be done in about 15 mins.

If the noise isn't just the fuel injection system, it could be bad VVTi gears. I don't think the IS250 engine is known for that but it also depends on your oil maintenance. If you want a good explanation go to YouTube and search for "car care nut VVTi rattle".
