Well in the end the indy and I settled on 6hrs plus parts. 4 matics are much more complex at the front end.
I know it actually took him near 8hrs. Final bill - $1200. (about $900 US) plus tax.
Well worth it though. It transformed the car. No shake at idle, no shaking on full lock, motor even starts more smoothly.
Bit disappointed at doing this at only 75000 km, but I swear the engine has never been this smooth, so maybe defective mounts from new
Cheers

2011 C300 4MATIC
I don't think it should cost too much if you go to an indy and buy parts online.
For a 4Matic with 90K+ I paid $450 in labor to have new engine mounts, transmission mounts, and all four shocks and struts, plus strut mounts, replaced. I brought my own parts in that I bought super cheap online. Everything was OE. The total parts and labor came to just under $2000, including a wheel alignment.
You don't need to go to a dealer or euro specialist for this car. The above at a dealer supplying the parts and labor would've cost at least $6000 or more...

I'm getting the same type of vibration at speeds over 70 miles and at stops. My car is at 86k miles so most likely I will need to look into this soon. My B service is due in about 800 miles which won't take long in my case. I may get the quote from the dealer on parts and see how I can fare online.
