Any service history with the car? When was the oil and filter last changed.
I would start with changing the oil and filter and make sure correct oil is used and a Mercedes-Benz oil filter

possible hydraulic tappet fault .one or more tappets are on there way out, wouldnt expect this on a merc unless it was high mileage.best get it looked at
