Engine noise normal?

Hi All,

I recently purchased a 2008 C63 and I'm not sure if the noise is normal for my engine or not. It's done 88,000kms, it had the headbolts and lifters (not adjusters) done at 49,000kms. The video is how the car sounds like after it's been driven and warm.

Link to YouTube video below:

Thanks!

It sounds like the engine is saying "Drive me, enjoy me"

sounds normal to me, unless others disagree and hear something? If you're still concerned do an oil change and add a can of Ceratec and see if it sounds any different. As long as you don't hear any ticking when driving or excessive rattle on start up you should be good

Engine sounds good, maybe a slight hint of idler pulley bearing noise.
