Unhappy Rumble at idle in my ML500

In the last month or so I have noticed an uneven idle. It seems to have full power but at idle is not as smooth as I remember or expect that lusty V8 to be. It's not bad and many wouldn't notice it, but I tend to be very fussy. I'll have it checked at next service. Any thoughts? Please be kind as I'm not a technical or DIY person. Thanks for the insight.

does the rumble go away when you put into Neutral, or is the rumble always there no matter what gear it is in?

Just had foot surgery so not driving for a little while. I can't recall if I've ever tried that and noticed a difference. May be a few weeks before I'm back on the road. She's tucked in the garage now. Thanks for the response.
