A bit of a hard one. Sounds like something has gone loss. If no noise when not moving it is worth looking around the drive train. Also check engine mounts????

Check the intake pipe to the turbo, small orange seal is prone to splitting. Buy new one from Peugeot if needed, as BMW only sell the complete pipe.

It's only when accelerating.
