I don't see anything that jumps out but I am not an expert wen it comes to warranty coding.
Also, your first page is so small that it is almost impossible to read. I couldn't resize it as the resolution was so low that enlarging made it equally impossible to read.

From the looks of it, there was a valve clearance issue and two issues with the camshaft (swing arm inlet worn and intake worn)...not to mention a few electrical issues and the catalytic converters (which is weird with such few miles)...as with any AMG, I would make sure you have some kind of warranty protection...other than that, Ive seen worse VMI's, just make sure you have some kind of warranty

It is amazing how some of the simple stuff can get coded.
But yes, a warranty and a FULL inspection would be nice.

Thanks for the replies. I decided to purchase the car as long as the dealer would CPO it. They did and I now have over 3 years of full warranty. I am thrilled to finally become an E55 owner.
