Vibration??
Gents. Over the last few weeks, my car has picked up a vibration? Cold start only, leave parked location and while stopped at a light etc with foot on brake I get a vibration, put in N and it's gone? Once car warms up 10mins of driving vibration is gone when holding at a light?? Any thoughts?

I am confident in answering this one, as I had the EXACT same symptoms. Although it feels like your transmission, your driveshaft flex discs are worn. There are two (front and rear) of the driveshaft. They are made of hard rubber. Yours (like mine) are likely cracked and age stressed.
After swapping out both, my car feels VERY smooth - can't believe it made that big of a difference.
I believe MBZ issued something about these being an issue.
Good luck! Let me know.

Could you clarify further on which discussed topic ended up being your problem? Mine seems to do the same thing, only at startup; kind of a weird in between vibration or rattle that can be felt. Looking to get this resolved on mine as well, my sound seemed to start shortly after a long rally that I went on? So im not sure if this is something which could be "driving" induced, about 2k hard miles.
