powertrain noise ? or just bushings ? (archive)

i am buying a 735ia 1986....the car is in a remarkable shape...i was literally drooling ...but when i took it for a test drive , i couldn't help noticing a noise coming from the back when the car is accelerating and turning from standstill. i am thinking maybe it's the driveshaft that's wearing out...the car has 170,000 KM and i would like to know if that's a common problem with the e23...is it expensive to fix ? or it may be a much more simple problem ??? please help !!!! tahnk you in advance.
