Yes, my engine is almost not noticable when running -- this at just about 1000 miles so far. Things may change eventually -- but its pretty darn smooth. C280 here too :-)

Mine is kinda loud because of the sport tuned exhaust on the sport model. I didn't like it at first but now I have come to like it.

Yes Junior...but the 6 he's talking about is a V6....and one that's inherently rough due to the architecture.

Your M271 isn't smooth? It doesn't have the grunt of the six, but frankly I don't know how you can even tell the difference with that massive flywheel dampening out what the lancaster balance shafts don't remove.

haven't really had any of that trembling you mention on the C320.
I have M112's on both the C320's at home (Sedan & Coupé), and haven't got that during idle at all. Really smooth actually.

That was one of the concerns I had when I got into the W203 based on
past MB engine experiences. However, i knew a lot had changed since my parents' old turbo-diesels, and my old 1979 230 G-Wagen.

try to compare it side by side, on another M112 (similar mileage & year),
and see what results.
