Weird noise coming from under armwrest

Hi I own a 340i 2018 and this weird noise started happening 3 weeks ago and is driving me crazy I tried looking up what could it be but no results it’s really a knocking sound only when I accelerate and when turning gets even worst but at high speed no sound whatsoever

These photos make no sound.... Hard to know what you are referring to.

Have you inspected the infamous parking brake clip?

It is a single clip. If you google "BMW F parking brake clip" you will find every piece of info you need.

It also could be the insulation under the tunnel, which does come loose. I had to screw mine in place to keep it from contacting the drive shaft.
