Default 98 e320 idle's rough only when in drive @ a stop

My e320 idle's rough only when in drive @ a stop, same for when in Reverse @ a stop. The whole car vibrate bad, and that is the only time the car does this.

Any ideas????

could be spark plugs, or wires, fuel, maybe try premium fuel and see if that helps the rough idle. maybe bad motor mounts too. idle is controlled by the computer but it can be a number of different things that could cause that.
