Clicking
During idle, does anybody have a clicking noise from the engine. Mine is an 04 model. I thought if it was a motor mount issue, all of that was taken care of last year.

On my 04 E55, it sounds kinda like a diessel engine inside. I wasn't sure if that was normal or not. But for a 90K car, it sounds a bit cheap when the glang glang glang glang sounds at idle.

On start-up I have the same Diesel engine type sound as well. I haven't noticed it after it's warmed up, but I'll check.

E500
There is a known problem about the noise. There was a TSB about the engine mounts being defective which causes the enging tapping noise, like a valve tap or diesel. It happens at idle to 2500 RPM. I had it too on my E500. Check with your service tech. It is under warranty.
