2011 C63 AMG buying advice
Hi there,
I'm coming from an E92 M3 and I'm looking to buy a 2011 C63 AMG. M3's are quite finicky in their maintenance (DCT, rod bearings, etc), and I'm wondering what are some of the things I should be looking out for when buying a 2011 C63 AMG. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks!

I just bought a 2013 and did a lot of research, seems they are pretty reliable cars in general, the biggest issue I found as they had a bad batch of head bolts which was only a problem in 2009 and part of 2010 I think, 2011 MY was ok.

My 2011 was out of headbolt range but the lifters and cam phasers were making a racket, shop foreman called them on my car and there was a huge difference in valvetrain noise, or lack thereof.
