Damn so all 2010s? Is there a way to tell if they have been fixed? (Sorry just started lookinginto these cars so I don't know much yet). Once they are they replaced, are they good to go or are they just bound to break again? Thanks for the help btw

Thx for that quick reply ... I don't know if you could answer this question for me but when I looked at that c63 the motor area had some sort of grey sealant typed thing applied to it. I think the guy said he had the valve covers replaced or had an oil leak fixed. Just looked weird. 102,000kms 20k Canadian asking price might be able to get it cheaper like 17k

Helppppp

I’m looking to purchase an e63. Coming over from bmw m3. I’m looking at two different ones. Anyway you could check them both for me to see if they have the head bolt issue. Might make me decide between the two.

I'm going out on a limb here and say they are both bad since they are both 2010's.

Please do VIN check for me!

Hey there Joe,
I’m a new member and I’ve been on this forum for some time as I want to purchase a 2010 “late production” c63 and I’m being told by the seller that the head bolts on this car don’t need to be replaced.

Can you check if it is in the affected group and provide me with the car options as well?

WDDGF7HBXAF431462

thanks in advance!!
