Thumping from rear end

I just picked up my 97 328i and there is a load and rapid thumping sound coming from the rear on hard acelleration. I was told that this is because the wheels are unbalanced (what kinda fool puts wheels on a car without balancing them). Anyhow, i want to make sure that sounds right before I pay the guy the rest of the cash tomorrow. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Mine thumps sometimes when I really hop on it with the traction control on. Does yours have this option?

your guibo/flex disc coupler, a common problem, it is between the tranny and the driveshaft, you should check that
