Hi Guys

So i sold my last Merc 3 years ago for a BMW and i have finally sold the BMW and going back haha!

Im looking at a E63 AMG 2007 model, just wanting your guys opinion on what to look for!
The one i have found has done 99,000 KM or 61,000 miles!

Any pointers would be great (especially engine wise)

Kind Regards,
Christian
 
Hi,

The M156 (6.2 Engine from Mercedes-AMG) is known to be very reliable.

However there was a headbolt issue with some of these engines.

Any engine code up to 156983 60 060658 means the engine has this issue.

Fixed that for you.

I'd suggest the OP reads the following threads before deciding. One point is that I would expect a 2007 engine should have shown symptoms by now if there is any head bolt failure. But you never know for sure.
Also plenty written about this on the US forums.
