But it shouldn't vibrate particularly. It is a boxer, and with a single carb, there's no balancing to do here. I would think it would point at the valves not being set right or maybe a decaying wire or plug on one side.
And of course, "revving it up" is relative, these motors only go up to something like 4,000 rpms.
I think Fred Jakobs wrote that there was some evidence of BMW having looked over a Douglas pretty closely, even before the M2B15 was developed.

Was looking in the archives and typed in Indian, because there is a similarity whith BMW forks and Indian ones,...and also Douglas and presto there was some photos of both dated 1920 "for technical evaluation"
