Drove with ESP OFF ????
Two days ago on the way to work I drove with ESP off. I drove it the same way I usually do but somehow on the way home my idle was really low watching my tachometer it was pretty much a slow bounce, up and down, car almost wanted to shut off sitting at stop lights. Sitting inside felt like I was in a washing machine, it would jiggle left and right since the idle was so low. My last service consisted of Service B & fuel lines cleaned. 
I have an appointment monday morning but I was just curious and all, alot of members on here have alot of knowledge and I was just interested in having some information prior to meeting with my SA.

Yeah, something doesn't sound right, though I'm not sure how it's connected to the ESP being off.
I autocrossed my C230 yesterday with the ESP off, and had no idle issues.

+1 - The ESP had nothing to do with your shaking issues. Drive without it and see if the shaking persists. There are a lot of threads open right now about the shaking while idle, you may want to look into them and find out whether you are experience the same problems and what solutions are available.
