depends on your definition of "shaking". my eta does and it has new mounts. it has a light vibration as it ceases to rotate.

[ADEN]

go for engine and tranny mounts.

Change your plugs again

EDIT: What you're referring to is probably over-run. Could be due to bad injectors of lots ot build up on your valves. Try some sea foam.

Mine still shook when I turned it off, on my old 84 318i. My motor mounts were gone, and it was resting on my Rack though lol. Id check the mounts.

this is what I'm talking about, but it's more than a "light vibration"... The whole car shakes!

Spark plugs for sure, or it might be trying to shed the cupholders.

Another, although rarely-seen possibility is that it's completely overwhelmed by your striking physique and when you touch it's key to turn it off it just sends shivers down it's driveshaft.
