Default acceleration then clunk clunk clunk

last night I was driving downhill and slowed down for small bump, after hitting bump at about 5-10mph I gave it significant throttle, it dropped a gear then I felt an immediate CLUNK CLUNK CLANK CLUNK with each wheel rotation. I was able to immediately pull into my driveway and park... Doesn't seem to do it in reverse. It feels as if the driveshaft or something is disconnected. I just had the transfer case replaced too. car is bone stock 09 535i xdrive with 110k on the clock. Please help.

At 110K I dont think so. I have 160K on the ticker and my mounts are still good. Maybe someone will chime in if they have had mount issues.
