I get that sometimes on my CL when slowing down. It's a down shift. If it's too rough or harsh, you probably should check with your service department to see if there's a software update available; Otherwise sounds pretty normal to me.

the downshifts are very noticeable with the new 7 speed, our E350 does it, so do '06 C230 loaners we've had. If you take your car in, they should have some kind of software update to help with this.

It either needs the software update, or it is still trying to understand your driving habits and learn your style.. Doesn't hurt to take it in though.
