Here's the Datacard. Perhaps you're asking if the Datacard has info related to whether a car has been modified with the new bolts. If so, there is no data available for that. If you're asking if it was originally affected, see Jasonoff's post above.

Once again, the title of the thread gives you your answer.

Regards,

Joe

Thanks! New to MB and W211 and E63, please bear with me as I learn about these amazing cars. Just so that I am clear, is this a correct statement, all 6.3 motors (I think that is m156) potentially have the head bolt issue up until some time in early 2011 production run?
Thanks
Mike

Use http://www.vindecoderz.com and you can run all the VINs you want instead of posting continual data card requests for a car this forum isn't even for
