I just bought a 1998 318i. Its in really good shape, but still a couple of things that need attention. One of them is, when the car is at a stand still in the drive position, it shakes. Its not really bad, its just enough to annoy you. I had an older 1986 318i once that had the same problem and it winded up being a bad engine mount. That was my first though, but what other possibilities could cause the car to shake in this situation?

Check the vacuum lines and look at the crankcase vent vale, part #12 on the exploded view.
