Getting any codes?

Have you plugged in a obd to check for any codes? Might be worth a peek to check inside the throttle body for gunk or plate sticking issues.

A little research for ya...

Check out this thread and let us know what you think. http://www.mercedesforum.com/archive...0-34431-1.html
One of my first thoughts was the motor mounts or trans mounts might be worn or loose. Apparently some engines shut down a few injectors when at a stop also.
Several possibilities at this point but really sounds like an adaptation problem as described in the above thread.

check to see if your engine mounts are no good.

Shaking / Vibration on my 98 E320

I was having a very bad vibration/shaking when the car is in gear / full stop / reverse you name it. Replaced both engine mounts. Car feels / drives like MB again. No more shaking / vibration.

I'm just not sure on how easy to replace your engine mounts.
I did the passenger side on mine and I have to bring the car
to the shop to replace the driver side mounts. Driver side is PITA.
It was so tight and very hard when you're under the car.

You might want to check your engines mounts first. Good luck.
