Help Needed Right Away!!!! My Car Is Shaking!!

Hey guys

Im in need of some serious help. I got up this morning and turned on my 530i and the service-engine-soon light came on and the whole car began to shake!! Like not even just vibrating, but literally shaking so bad that I could see the car vibrating from the window. I just got my oil changed at 12k miles on friday and havent really driven the car at all this weekend. It shakes at speeds upwards of 60mph and shakes when I come to a stoplight. Its real bad and I need some help on this- just to clear my senses at least because Im taking it in today at 2pm, but I need to know what it can be RIGHT AWAY!!!

Thanks

I think you need to park your car and ask yourself this;

Why are you asking for help on a BMW 5 series on a Mitsubishi forum?

I thought the 530i was your Dads car?

One or two of the spark plugs are not firing. Check the spark plug wires and the plugs.
