Noises from this engine are common, and are usually less noisy when the engine is warmed up. Personally I would take the car to a Mercedes independent workshop if this noise is that bad and you are confident that there is oil getting to the bearings under pressure.
If you are anywhere near Northampton/Leicester I can recommend a couple.

I'm in teeside area I have had a word with a few places they quoted me 2500 to take engine out and replace the chain which I know it's not that is there any issue with cam shaft bearings wearing out or tappets wearing
I don't want to give it to them to be hot with a big bill I will end up scrapping it an cut my losses it stays the same noise even when warm

I don't want to give it to them to be given a big bill I will end up scrapping it and cut my losses, it stays the same noise even when warm

If it runs well and you're thinking of scrapping it then you might as well just keep running it as it is until it eventually (or not) dies

It takes 4 hours to replace the chain ( and that's with a cup of tea in between )
And it's done in situe!

I cannot stand the bulls... Some garage folk tell their punters !
