The rotten egg smell indicates the truck is running very rich which will cause it to shake at idle.you need to have it put on a scan tool to see what the readings which will help to diagnose faster.you could have too much fuel supply because of an injector problem a plug not firing,plug wire,problem with the pcm,too much fuel pressure in the system a sensor sending the wrong information to the pcm.

When I drive my Bmw 323I E90 is shaking after driving for 500m, and then it dont want to drive fast because of the shaking. It also gives a rotten egg like smell. Whats the problem

Rotten egg smell from exhaust is typically caused by sulfur in the catalytic converter burning off. That can be caused by driving the car harder than normal, or harder than previously, making the converter heat up. If you have exhaust leaking into the car, you will smell it.

We will need a better characterization of the "shaking" to help you solve it. Does the shaking stop when you stop, or does it continue? If it stops, it's either in the drivetrain or wheels. If it doesn't stop, engine or trans.

First step is to access the Engine Control Module (ECM) using diagnostic equipment connected to the data link connector of the car, in order to pull out all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) memored. Even if engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) goes off after engine starting, it's possible to find out temporary DTC codes memored in the ECM. Then you will be full informed about bad components (e.g. bad heated oxygen sensor(s), cylinder(s) misfire(s), bad injector(s), bad ignition coil(s), ... etc). Therefore you will be able to repair & replace bad components and reset the ECM.
In the most cases when you smell something like rotten egg there are bad oxygen sensor(s).

Rough idling, poor gas milege

Usually the rotten egg smell is a clogged CAT. Is the engine light on and if so did you retrieve any codes?
