Did you every figure out the problem?

I have the same issue, part throttle, high load and its almost as if someone is engaging then disengaging the clutch over and over again causing it to oscillate back and forth getting worse and worse.

Letting off of the gas causes a considerable jerk, and getting back into it again does the same...

I was also wondering that, I think its the springs in the clutch disc getting weak. My 240D does the bucking thing under certain circumstances with about 50K on the clutch.

Went out jacked the car up on one side in gear E brake down. could turn the wheel about 1/8 of a turn! and driveshaft to diff had about 1/4" play.

I think my original thought was right, and the diff is the problem. I know someone said bearings would wine with that much backlash, but I'm guessing that happened a Looooong time ago.

in gear you can roll the car back and forth several inches.

I know that doesn't sound like much but it translates a lot over the whole car. I have actually never seen a car move that much in gear before

I also notice when IN gear there is not much play at all in the shaft, but out of gear a LOT of play before the shaft turns the wheels.
