Engine vibrates too much in the morning

I recently noticed my car really vibrating hard in the morning...I didn't really notice it before, but when I start to drive off after letting it sit about 30 seconds or so, I feel the car vibrate or shake a bit...Anyone else experience this problem? The car has 3000k on it so far

My ML320 I had before as well as the c240 I have both do this occassionally in the mornings. I always let the car sit about a minute in the morning when I first start it. It only happens sometimes. When it happens I usually don't realize it until I get to the first light or stop sign and then it shakes. But after I drive it by the next light or stop sign the shake is gone. I assume this is common and most people just disregard it since it goes away and doesn't happen often.

Plus I guess since its winter, it needs more time to warm up....However, mine is like this everytime I start the car, it goes away, but then comes back...I never noticed it before, because it was extremely quiet when I drove and didn't feel the engine too much...Should I take it to the dealer?
