Can someone check that my e63 doesn’t have bad headbolt range engine no is 156985 60 049949. It’s a low mileage car 42000km driven highly maintained. What would you recommend should I go for headbolt replacement?

As in the title, 2010 and older are affected. The focus is on the last 5 digits of the engine number. Needs to be 60658 or higher.Originally Posted by Taha

As many of you know, I have been providing Datacard info to many members interested in their build sheet, or to verify engine serial number.
I received a PM from a member today who indicates he has a "late 2010 C63". The Datacard for the VIN he provided shows a delivery date of 11/24/2010. The Datacard indicates the engine number is over 4,000 engines beyond serial number 156983 60 060658 where the new head bolts were employed.
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
