It runs fine when I put my foot on the accelerator, but when it is sitting still it chakes the whole car.
Idle RPM is...
It has a zone chip fitted.

My M40 318i has started shaking all over the place at idle.

What have you done to the poor thing 
It sounds rather noisy aswell.
Did you put a post up about doing this and a rebored throttle body?
Try putting your old chip back in and let it sit at idle for a while to settle.
Sounds like your spark plugs are nackered
