You may also want to look below the rocker panel and see if the left rear jack pad is still in place. They sometimes can fall out (disappear) and if they do, they can make odd sounds that may sound like they are coming from places not associated with the jack pad:

The TIS bulletin below was printed out before the e53 hit the market...but since the e53 uses the same jack pad as the e38 & e39 (9/98-up build date)...the suggestion to check them would apply to the e53 as well.

{disregard the part nbrs listed for the e38 - they are for the ROUND jack pads used from 1995-1998...and the e39 part nbr for the rectangular jack pads has been succeeded by a new part #}



(see #9 in the diagram below...there's a total of 4 of them...one at each corner of the rocker panels)
