Did you find out the cause of the rattle? Think I've got the same problem. Cheers

Would be really nice for someone who can help to chime in we can't be the only ones with this issue

No, I didn't diagnose that....had a look at the engine schematic to try an identify a possible part but that didn't help either....(I'm not a mechanic)
I took the car into the MB dealer for them to listen too...it was intermittent when the mechanic was listening and a hard noise to explain to him.....lots of head scratching.....he couldn't hear anything wrong.
That was a while ago and I haven't heard it since

Thanks for the reply, im thinking its the valve in the filter housing. I've changed the oil with fresh ams 5w40 and a new hengst filter but no change. I'm a mechanic for 15 years, the car otherwise drives fine and makes good power with no fault indicators. I'm thinking that the pressure flowing through the housing and that valve along with the natural vibration of a v8 is the source if noise and probably normal.
