Guys need your help pls

On my C230 k sedan, I notice the car vibrate more than usual when starting it in the morning....At first I thought it might be because I switched from my Pilot Sports to ContiExtreme's...I even re-balanced the tires to make sure it wasn't the problem...However, still in the mornings I notice more vibration and the engine "puttering" than normal....This occurs on cold mornings say between 25-40 degrees F. I let the car fully warm up too, at least 30 seconds before I drive off....One day as I was leaving work, as I put it into gear it seemed like it wanted to shut off as the engine going back and forth, however that only happened once...Anyway, the dealer says supercharged cars are loud and are going to make noises, but I just don't understand this...Why the increased vibration in the cold weather? Am I being paranoid, or could this be a cold start valve problem...It's just my luck that it's 55 degrees F right now in md, so I can't duplicate the problem enough for the dealer to check it out.....sorry for rambling, any thoughts are appreciated
