the noise in the video is that of a cam adjuster. all brands and engines that have adjustable cam gears sound the same when they get some miles on them. doesn't mean they aren't functioning correctly just that there is some miles and usage on them. when they get loud or not sweeping correctly thus throwing a code is when they need replacing.

here is photo from internet, by which part of cam adjuster it make that sound? on engine ON they full of oil and it's oil pressure not give them to make any noise, if there is no oil pressure, engine become noise like a hell and no power etc

Ah, thought they might be similar to some other lifters, like these:
Solution to the tapping was increasing the hole size so that more oil could get in (pictured with larger holes). These are much different though.

The lifters have holes on the sides. The Tasos video from the other day showed that soaking them in oil does nothing. You have to pump them full of oil right before installing.

I think it's somewhat of a bad design in general then (I'll be honest haven't read most of the lifter threads) I wonder if larger holes in the sides will help then.

Now that I read this, funny. My 09e63 has this same behavior. No noise when cold, but has this same noise when warm. Viktori, did you ever figure anything out with this?

Hmm... don’t know if it’s really related to the lifter. Have you thought about the cam adjuster not locking completely? There is a video from Tasos that has him put a wrench to it to check. You can tell right away.

My CA noise was louder than yours but I also had lifter ticking around the middle of the left bank.
All my plates have signs of wear but the pin flip must have worked as they are now quiet 14 months and 7,000klm on.
Used Liqui Moly 5w40 and Ceratec after the change was done and my last oil change used same oil but with MOS2 added.
No ticking so far.
Btw people have reported that they replaced all 4 CA's at stealers and still had the ticking.

I hear a lot of reports about ticking lifters and noisy cam adjusters here. My 2010 C63 doesnt have any of that at 41k miles. Currently running Motul 8100 5w40.
Aside from the noisy, is there any chance of catastrophic failure or engine damage associated with the noisy lifters and cams? If its just the noise, it sucks but it's livable.
My fear is that this could end up being an expensive repair bill, like broken head bolts.

ok, problem found and fixed, thats crazy, but it's temp oil sensor beru st011, I have a problem with fuel pressure CHECK ENGINE light on, it's like problem which nobody can fix, but on one forum I found info about temp oil sensor replacement will help,
and it fixed also problem with slapping somehow. Also it's not lifters, it's chain slapping.
