I had that in my '85 190D 2.2l once. I forget what it had been in the shop for
but it'd been started and shut off several times in quick succession. It was
~10 miles before that lifter quieted down and that was a car I'd been using M1
5w40 on for an extended interval at that time...
I suspect conventional oil would clear out lifter tick too if you took the car
on a long enough drive...

Lifter tick may be what you have, and the late Dr. M.B. often wrote that
M1 oil would usually quiet that down; that has been my experience.
