What is your question?

2005 mercedes with about 53K miles, when idling, the engine sounds a little like a diesel engine. What could possible be the cause? Is it a problem or am I being paranoid.

That sounds like it could be misfiring. Check the Spark plug wires and also the distributor cap. Both of which could need service.
