How often do you drive your car? Certain oil weights and extremely cold weather can exacerbate the lifter noise, but generally, you should NOT get any noise at all.
Had an R129 that would be noisy for a few minutes when it sat for a few months, but otherwise, even once-a-week startups would have no lifter noise at all.
My wife's CLK has about the same mileage as yours and there is no lifter noise upon startup. Of course, this is sunny Texas, where it's 60 in the winter...
