Clicking/popping sound after parking 2025 GLE 450. Is this normal?
Basically the title
Car info - GLE 450 / Brand New / 400 miles driven
Always hear this sound after parking the vehicle. It can be heard for ~ 10 minutes and then stops. From my understanding it's the different metal parts cooling which produces this.
It's normal to hear this sound particularly after a spirited drive but I ALWAYS hear it even when I drive the car even for 20 mins at normal speeds (30-50 MPH) in eco mode.
Wanted to check if someone else experienced this in their GLEs and is it worth taking a trip to the dealership to get this checked.
Appreciate any advice/opinions or general thoughts. Thanks!

It's normal at least in my experience. My 2024 450 makes pops from the heated metal even after driving just a couple miles away and back. The clicking is also normal as the system is turning off different sensors and systems. My 2024 350 was the same way before I traded it in for the 450.

Of course I took a little hit on it, but it wasn't bad.
