Highest mile
Hello all
i know that MB and AMG in general get a black eyes for not being very reliable vehicle as of late. My 07 R63 AMG was 155k miles and still terrorized the street until an ice storm ate it. My current 2012 E63AMG wagon is rocking 135k miles and still drive like the day I bought it (70k miles). And I can’t find anything to replace it so I may have to keep it a while. With proper maintenance these AMG can be very reliable. With that said, how many miles on your AMG Beast? Any “major” break down?

you just need an arnott air spring and the install is relatively easy and if you don’t do it yourself it shouldn’t cost much at an indie shop either I’m not sure what they charged you

2011 E63 AMG
75K on mine. 11' E63
List of issues:
Rear door lock actuator failed - repaired myself - pain in the ***. Part and tools cost me around $200.
Windshield fluid reservoir cover popped off - major pain in the *** to get the whole assembly out, figure out why it's leaking and put the cover back in correctly. Just labor time.
Multi contour seat right side died at 40K miles - I never use it and it's insanely expensive to replace so I just left it.
Rear air springs leaking - about to replace them in a week or so.. around 500.. if things go well...
Fuel pump check valve quick working - causes fuel pressure to drop when car not on, and a long crank. Haven't replaced the pump yet.. but I just hit the ignition on, then crank the car as a workaround. Not sure I want to get in the tank right now. Maybe in the summer time... I'm also not sure if the check valve is on one, or two pumps. Mercedes said replace both.... if anyone knows.. that would be helpful.

@dinman What mileage did the conductor plate fail? I may start looking for a spare part in case it happens to me. What did it cost you to replace it and where did you do it?

Did you guys get a high mileage badge for your car when it went over 155k? You just fill out the form and take it to the dealer to confirm the mileage, then you can add the badge to your grill.

That's a good amount of km's on such a car!
Original transmission? How often did you change the transmission oil/filter??
