I think they’re replicas because they don’t say AMG on the flat spot like others I’ve seen. I like them but 19s are too big for my taste, rather have 18s and a bit more sidewall. Drove 330 miles home with it no issues. Just went for a ride now I have P02187 and P0171. Guess I have some searching to do.

Did you purchase from a dealer? If so, seems shaddy that they reset the computer before the sale. Would escalate if from dealer. There are consumer laws that can help you.

Yes the dealer didn’t note it in the inspection so I will try chasing it down but if it requires any time consuming trouble shooting I’ll take it to my local MB and send them the bill. After a quick search sounds like air box seal and or pcv/ purge valve.

Dealers are held to a higher standard so don't play nice with them. Get the car looked at by independent mechanic or MB and get the date of when codes were reset. Try to get the date when the dealer received the car so you have proof that they had the car when codes were reset. Make them pay for all the repairs or if they don't, tell them you will make a complaint to your local DMV. Don't play nice with them as they already shaddy hiding defects in car.

Just picked up a 2012 C63 with 39,000. Car has good maintenace records, no accidents and no issues. First I want to be sure it is rock solid before adding any power. Are there any items I should replace/inspect off the bat that are a known weakness? Are lifters and cam wear an issue at 39k for a 2012? Are there any areas I should take a look at ?
Thanks !
