Who did the work? Check all the wires to see if one is loose. Maybe they didn't install the engine mounts correctly.

A MB tech should be able to find the problem in under and hour. Just cough of the dough and pay for a diagnosis. I am sure you can fix the problem yourself. Could very well be an injector that is failing.

For those with the idle problem under 5mph - is the shaking/vibration still evident when the vehicle is in drive and you are powerbraking? Powerbrake the car (foot on gas & brake) and bring the rpms up and see if anything changes. This would help rule out a fuel related issue.
