Which mount causes this shake?

Hi,

I took the 240D out today, it went great. I knew that the motor mounts were in a bit of need of help, but Im not sure which need the help. My symptoms are as follows:

At any engine temp, turning the idle screw from anything but max causes a shake.

In drive, the shake is worse than in neutral. In neutral, the shake isnt really noticable or existant.

The A/C makes the engine shake a bit more in neutral or drive.

I tried a bit of an italian tune-up after getting the engine good and hot. Even an auto-equipped 240D really scoots!!
