please let me know what did you found about that noise my car car the same problem i took it to Mercedes dealership few times the last time they took 3 months looking for that issue and this is what they did trying to fix it
replaced vacuum pump
replaced camshaft
replaced oil pressure pump
checked the lifters
and after all that didn’t fix the issue, they need to take the engine out and check it from the bottom and that will cost me $9000 just labor no parts

Skimmed this discussion and have two questions. The first is, any codes? The second is were any heat shields checked?
Bonus observation: if the problem persisted 30k or more miles, it’s probably more annoying than destructive.

From what i read in other forums. They all say its the camshaft adjuster. It can create start up issues and has to be replaced While not an immediate safety concern, the camshaft adjuster failure could lead to engine failure anytime
