Driveshaft on E39 M5

Looks like I need one - best places to purchase from the esteemed PH massive?

Propshaft went on mine and I bought one from eBay.
Next thing to go was the rear subframe so I went straight to ebay again. Mech said that was a real pain to fit as it had come from a salvaged car. That was obviously not mentioned on the eBay advert.
You just need to check where these parts come from as fitting them is fairly involved and finding they are from a crashed car afterwards can give you a big headache.

What are the symptoms with a failed driveshaft?
I've got a bit of a clunk from the drivetrain on mine.

Thanks Majorbeef.

In answer to the question, it was diagnosed by an independent after they checked the car when an ABS light came on.
