GLE 43 AMG engine sound

Hey guys , new here and I am purchasing a 2018 GLE 43 AMG with 87k miles , was wondering if this noise is common or is a problem that needs to be checked. What are other common issues to be aware of with this platform? Thank you guys

Normal. When I was at the dealer buying my GLE. I thought it was valve tapping untill I called up my friend (MB Tech) and he said it's normal. They use high pressure direct injectors. I have the same sound in my other vehicle Audi Q3 S-Line as well and it also use high pressure injectors. Nothing to worry about.
