Just picked up a 250 4 matic - first one.

is it normal at low speed on a tight turning angle for a noise to be coming from the front ? Sounds like the steering rack is grinding but not sure

look for little rocks stuck in the brake area
including the various gaps between the rotor and shields
if you can lift the front put in neutral and spin the wheel listen for bearing grind and hunt that down
while at it yank the wheel at 12 and 6 oclock to check for failing joints
