Damn! You guys are too quick! LOL. I was going to mention that mine was doing this and I tightened the rubber stops and it went away. One of those noises that'll fool ya into spending way too much money and time tracking down!

When you open the upper hatch, you'll see a rubber stopper with a torx screw in the center of it. There's one on each side of the open hatch (on the body of the vehicle, not the hatch itself).

If it's consistent with acceleration and some bumps (like mine is) it could be your subframe bushings. Kind of a heavy clicking and adjusting noise. After a while I could feel a vibration consistent with the noise.
Great DIY from X5girl here http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...tempt-2-a.html

this thread may be old but...
my 02 started making noise in the back as though the suspension piece is going. very much like some other thread with sub frame bushing problem. steps I took drive it with the hatch open over the same road. - no noise closed the hatch, re-drove over the same road. - noise adjusted the rubber,..1/4 turn ccw. then tighten torx screw. this lasted for about a week. went to dealer, placed an order for the two rubbers, one on each side. 46 dollars each. they seem to have re designed the unit. it is no longer adjustable, but sprung. you need to remove the access panels on either side of the interior and using a big socket, replace the assembly. two weeks... no rattle.
