3 months ago I posted I had a coolant problem and was advised (correctly) that I had a blowing head gasket.
I topped up the rad with washing up liquid to thin the oil in the cooling system.
The blow is between the water jacket and the head, in the early stages of blowing before it bolws right out.
4000 miles later it still goes like a train.
Check the ATF fluid for level and condition and if it is full and pink just keep driving.

Could be an engine mount on it's way out. My 190 did this until I replaced the mount.
Does it do it if you're parked facing downhill and the weight of the car is held by the gearbox in P?

When I saw the post earlier engine mounts came to mind, I see that Hibbo thinks the same so worth checking.
