Why is the engine of my BMW 1 Series making a loud knocking noise?

I recently noticed a loud knocking noise coming from the engine of my BMW 1 Series. It only happens when the car is idling and the noise gets louder when I accelerate. What could be causing this and what should I do to fix it?

I had a similar issue with my BMW 1 Series and it turned out to be a cracked engine mount. I would recommend getting this checked out by a professional to avoid any potential safety hazards.
