I had this issue before and the car needed a new drive line. Try to find Indy shop to fix it for cheaper cost. BMW dealer quoted me for $2500+ for parts and labor.

Is the problem intermittent? How do you know it's the driveshaft? I once had this issue and it was a butterfly valve in the exhaust causing the issue. I replaced the guibo disc and everything for nothing. for a $0.97 fix LOL. I was young and inexperienced.
