The car shakes at idle, but as soon as I give it gas, the shaking goes away. Injectors were checked. All okay. How do I fix this issue?

I would start by checking the spark plugs and the engine compression. Here are the spark plugs you should use and a guide to help you do the compression test. This generic guide will help walk you through the steps for the spark plug change with instructions below for your car.

You can rent a compression gauge for the auto parts store for cheap or free. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

I once uploaded a video. It's a 2006 diesel 730D and a user here had the same problem. Error code in error memory is: 4BD2 Ars Torque Limitation.

Yep, that is not running correctly. I would test the engine for vacuum leaks when it is cold only.

Here is a guide to help:
