Flat spots on your tires, maybe? I've heard of people having this problem if they don't drive the car for a while or park the car outside in extremely cold weather.
Or, have you ever used fix-a-flat in your current tires? If so, it liquefies and settles in the bottom of the tire. When it gets below freezing that liquid will freeze and cause a vibration.
Just a thought.

Re: Vibration
I bet it is due to lower tire pressure due to the colder temps.
We had our first cold snap last week, and I had to add 2 - 3 pounds to all the cars/truck in my fleet.
I would check the tire pressure.

Mine goes in next week for service. I have an Inde that does tire and brake work. Said he'll rotate and balance for $50-$80 depending on the weights and application to wheel. When this started, I thought it was a wheel balance/tire pressure problem. Judging from everyone's input, I believe I may be correct in my assumption.

Its the tires... I have this issue on my BMW with run flats and its magnified vs normal tires. I usually hit the road and zig zag like the race cars for a few blocks to warm them up (traffic permitting of course). I have noticed it on the E class also but its not as bad.

I had this flat spotting problem with my 04 Acura TL, they use those crappy Bridgestones, I switched to Michelin A/S Pilot and no problem at all. Also P nero zero had no problems either.
