We fixed a e46 with a knocking sound from the left rear.
We tested first by him driving by me in a parking lot, then we took the car to my house and we put it in the air and removed the wheel and checked for anything out of the norm. I noticed the brake pads moving around. We found out, just before he purchased the car a brake job had been done and they turned the rotor. It was too thin and we replaced the rotor. No more problem.
Hope this helps.
Best of Luck
