540BEAST

Hello All,
I am new to this forum and was hoping someone could provide some advice.
Yesterday, I did a very agressive launch in my 540/6 and a minute later I noticed smoke coming out of my hood. I pulled over and found a coolant hose had become disconnected. I reconnected the hose and toped up the coolant and there was no more smoke. However, now when I accelearte hard in first gear I hear a very loud sort of vibration/rumbling coming from the left side of the engine bay.
The problem only occurs above 2000 RPMS when you push down hard on the gas, and really only in 1st gear (however a bit can be heard in second gear). It does not happend when the car is at a stand still. I suspect this problem is unrelated to the cooling hose that became disconnected but I'm not sure.
What could this be? My initial thoughts tell me it could be a broken guibo or perhaps transmission or engine mounts. Advice is appreciated. Thanks very much.
