Recent own C300, need help

So i have been driving this car about a week and two questions come up to my head.

1) When i drive the car for a bit and have to stop at a red light, the car is at idle position (shift lever at D). I feel the engine, brake panel, even driver seat are kind of shaky, is that normal?

2) The Service B mileages shown at the multifunction display is still 10,500 miles since day one. I have driven this car about 150 miles, however it is still shown 10,500 miles till next Service B, is that normal?

Thank you very much for your help!

Engine vibrations can be caused by a few different things but shaking at idle (or any other time) is certainly not normal. Somebody needs to pull codes to see what the cause is.

My '08 C300 has never had palsy.

I have a 08 C300 M/T. runs smooth at idle. But i've noticed in other cars also. Low quality Fuel does cause rough idle. I don't mean octane i mean the Quality of the Gas at certain pumps even same brand different locations. Good Luck. no Car is perfect.
