2011 e63 amg
new engine
Hello AMG fam
i have a 2011 e63 AMG with 73k miles on it
i recently got the car and I was driving on the interstate when I start hearing some rumbling from the engine area(failure sounds) but no leak no smoke nothing so I parked on the side and towed it to Benz dealer that they called me today and said there’s a damage in the bottom part of the engine, the crankshaft might be bad or bearings but they don’t what exactly the problem do they told me I’d have to get a new engine and i have no warranty nothing.
Anyone know about that or can advice me to do something about that?

FInd out if your engine had the notorious head bolt problem; you can google m156 benz headbolt problem; if so, ask Mbusa to have some mercy on you and give you some financial relief for this repair
you can find an m156 on ebay

I am thinkking the CAMs lobe issue.
Unless oil changes were far and few and incorrect type.
My W211 6.2 early 6.2 had no issues as the later 6.2 seem to be experiencing.
Knock on wood I don't think I would ever get back into a 6.2 knowing all these issues.
