Engine tapping noise

On my 03 CLK500, there is a tapping noise coming from the engine (lifters?). I did not experience this on my CLK430 until about 60,000 miles. I've only got 2,000 miles on this one. Does anyone else hear the same thing? I'm not sure if it is normal or not, but I don't like it.

The modular engines are noisy...compare it to another car.
