Maintenance/Repairs

I need a diagnosis. My 2001 Mercedes CLK320 has ~150k on it. The maintenance, etc. has been kept up to date. A few months ago the car engine started to run noisily and began to vibrate. It’s worse when it’s cold out or if the car is at stopped but not in park (like when you’re at a stop light or drive thru). The vibration and noisy engine running lessens considerable after the car runs for a while and if the car is in park. I already had a tune up by the MB dealer about 9 months ago.

Diagnosis? Also, I’m obviously at that point where the dealer service shop no longer makes sense. I’m going to drive this car (hopefully) beyond 200k, however, it would be nice to get rid of this problem. Otherwise the car really is almost as good as new!
