If you're looking at the E63, I'm guessing all are infected seeing as they stopped using the M156 in approximately 2011?

hey,

I’ve been trying to figure out the headbolt situation on my car. can you please run my engine number and get back to me.

engine number : 156985 60061124

i believe it’s past the issue engine number but just want to make sure with a professional so it’s 100%.

thank you

It is past the switchover by 466 engines. Last 5 digits of VIN need to be 60658 or higher.

Since we've believed that all 2010 and older, and some 2011s were in the affected range, I'm confused about how this one could be outside the range. I did a search to find out which digit in the VIN corresponds to the model year, but had no luck getting a clear answer.


Anyone have any thoughts on all of this?


Thanks,


Joe

Why do you keep asking about this? I gave you the answer in post #1493. You have the new headbolts.
