1996 BMW 328 i, 109,000 miles. the engine idles rough and shakes when you start it up and when you are at a stop. I have taken it to be fixed several times and they said they can't find anything wrong. I took it back again and they noticed the rough idle and shake and said they put something in the gas tank , a cleaner and that should do it. It still has the same problem. It was in an accident in the Arizona desert, to the drivers front,by the tire. I thought it might be the motor mounts. They said they were fine. Is it an fuel filter or air intake problem? Full of dust and dirt?

This could be an ignition issue. I suggest scanning the car with a BMW scan tool and repost
