I'm not familiar with the noise on the floor, but if it increases when you press the throttle its likely something connected to the engine. I know that the tensioner for the serpantine belt will rattle when it starts getting aged.
Good luck,
Josh

Expertise
I can answer questions related to the BMW e30. These are the cars produced from 1984-1991 (1992 for convertable) in the United states. I am more fluent with the six cylinder models, although few things changed for the 4 cylinder cars. I know most of the problematic areas of these cars, and have found ways to fix them.
Experience
I have owned six different E30's over the last 10 years. I do all my own work, and know about ever nut and bolt on these cars.
