Why is my BMW 3 Series' engine making a rattling noise?

I noticed that my BMW 3 Series' engine has been making a rattling noise lately. It seems to get louder when I accelerate, but goes away when I am idle. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?

This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as loose belts, low oil levels, or a problem with the timing chain. I would recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic to diagnose the issue.
