its probably a coil (my mechanic removed 2 coils to check it the spark plugs were changed, in first coil he couldnt remove sleave, so he put it back and removed other)
i removed that coil that have sleave inside and started a car and it had no diffrence on engine (same shaking) but for now i have check engine and vsc lights on all the time

i just went a stard disconecting coil after coil to see if it make any diffrence
i would say that the first coil from driver side (close to oil cap) made no diffrence on engine after disconecting
but after running engine for few minutes i start to hear metalic noise somwhere on top of the engine (sounds kinda like a valves)
dealer is about 20-30 miles away i would try to drive it if it wasnt for that metalic noise
day before it happens i drive it very hard on higway for about 15 minuts ( could that be the couse of my problem)
wasnt burning tires just very fast drive on higway (RPM where to the red line very often)
in the morning after that car had only slight shake when i stoped on red lights and after few hours on parking i almost couldnt make home because of that shaking
