Looking for high mileage w204 c63 owners or w204 c63 experienced mechanics
Hi ... i own a 2013 w204 c63 p31 package with 46k miles. I love this car! There is no problems except once where the car wouldn't start and i had to replace something that was $1k to unlock the steering wheel. But other than that... the car is cherry. It is always garaged kept and never been in any accidents.
I am just wondering how long i can hang on to this car wothout amy problems because i don't have warranties. Should i sell now while it's worth a little money or can i keep this car for the long term? Anyone with thoughts? Mechanics or high mileage owners? Input would be great. Thank you.

If you are the person who calls road side assistance for a flat tire then sell it. But if you do minor maintenance and repair work yourself keep it.

A huge part of the cost question comes down to the type of driving you are doing.... Obviously city driving or racing is going to chew up your car much more than long road trips... I have almost the same mileage as you and have had zero issues after the first 100 miles of ownership... Not even brake pads... Just tires, oil and gas..

With that type of driving you should be able to go 100k miles with no trouble at all.. The C63 is a beast and does not have to work very hard most of the time. Unless you just want a new car or something is seriously wrong with yours, I would just keep it...
BTW I also own a GLA45 which is an awesome winter substitute for the C63 but the feel and build quality is nothing compared to the C63.

Mine has 144,000 kms and as the previous owner deferred a lot of maintenance (in my opinion) in 2 years I have done O2 sensors, front lower controls arms, outer tie rods, new spark plugs, new ignition coils, new injectors, map sensor, rotors and pads all round, full trans service, EGR valve and intake manifold clean out and new engine and trans mounts. About $2500 worth of parts but thanks to the cool people on this forum and some youtubers, I have been able to do it all myself saving a lot of money and had a lot of fun along the way

I’m starting to think not all 08,09,10 m156’s are burdened with bad headbolts! Mine has 154k on it, a 2009, perfect maintenance, oil changed every 5k stock headbolts, and I make 485whp
