I am very good at dealing with this kind of dealer issue and I tend to get something from the dealer if they fail at their job and lie about the problem by saying that it is really OK.
My 2004 E320 4 Matic is smooth with both summer and winter tires. No car of this caliber has any vibrations that are normal! You were right to question this all along! Once again: GOOD FOR YOU! Now go get something free of charge. You can even accuse them if missing a safety issue with your car.
I am not usually vindictive, but MB drivers are sometimes treated as mechanical morons by the dealer (so far my new dealer has not).
