Was it just the 2008s and 2009s? Was the issue resolved for the new years, 2010+?

I am looking into getting a C63 Sedan some time this year or maybe next. I like the face lifted 2012+, but I've found some very nice 2010s and 2011s that I like as well (options I want and color combos).


Thank you,

Search the forum. There's is a whole ton of info on this topic. There's even a sticky.

I must be blind, thank you.

Was the issue resolved for the 2011+ years?


Any other major issues besides the head bolt on these cars to be aware of when looking?

Bolts changed part way through 2011.

All 2010 and older, and some early 2011s are affected. This assumes the car is a US vehicle.

In addition to what has already been mentioned, the switchover occurred at engine 060658, which corresponds to a build date of around 6/2010. The build date can be found on the inside of the driver's side door if you are physically looking at a car. Note I mean the build date listed on the door, not the dealer inservice date.

Also if the last six digits of the VIN are under 530000 (for a C63 built 2011 and earlier), I would pretty much guarantee it has the older headbolts. Anything over 545000 should be the newer headbolts. 530000-545000 is a grey area worth a lookup of the data card to confirm because the engines were not put into cars in perfect order.
