clunking noise from the rear end

Hi Guys

Im posting this up for my cousin
He called me this morning complaining about a clunking noise coming from the rear end of his e55

His car has about 100000kms
He thinks its the diff or tail shaft
(i wouldnt think a tailshaft)

Does anyone else experience these noises with kms like this
