PROBLEM DIAGNOSTIC HELP!

[95alty]

Ok so Im on my way to work and pull up at the stop sign. Everything seems fine then. So i put the car into 1st gear and I hear a POP and the car revs and engages in to gear just fine but wont drive. WTF? So i try to turn it off and start in second gear and nothing... but i faintly hear a scrubbing type sound coming from the rear of the car. It is a 98 BMW 5 series . Is it a Axle, Driveshaft, WHAT? PLEASE HELP

Sounds like a broken u joint. Not familiar with bmw drive train though.

+1 on this I'm no BMW expert but check that rear joint sound like the culprit

could be anything in the drivetrain. i could say this or that it would all be 1 huge guess until a tech looks at it.
