Hey guys,

I posted this in the 7 Series forum, but this forum is much more alive and though you might have some good input on this. I used to own an e34 525i and sold it about a year ago. It was the biggest mistake ever!!! I want another bmw because nothing drives like one. I was looking at a 735iL today and it had 168k miles on it. The interior is in very good shape and motor runs well, just a slightly lympy idle. When I stopped the car after driving it and was looking it around everything checked out ok, but when I got back in and started to drive it again I heard something from under the center console, like the drive shaft was rubbing from underneath as it was turning, like a schu.schu..schu..schu sound, hard to describe in typing. Is this any kind of a known problem? I know the driveshaft is not rebuildable and about a grand to replace. Also the rear passanger break was clicking when I applied the brakes. Any ideas?

Your help is much appreciated!!
