Looks pretty awesome and this guy has spent some serious money on Mods.
(Like the idea of the facelift grille mmmm)

The 6.2 has proven to be a very robust performance engine.

Every other car on the road seems to be a C63, if they were bad we would have the forum full of posts every day about them.

[V12]

I travel around the new forest, Hampshire, Surrey and a bit of london and see one most days...
Can't see your location on my phone but I am very surprised.

I'm sure someone can provide us with C63 sales figures for the last 2 years. I'm sure they're not insignificant

Over 1500 registered in 2013. It's a 5 year old car now so many problems would be popping up by now.

They are popping up .... I posted links to a few I found with little looking.

I just checked and there is about 9k sold in the UK (4k in 2013)

How Many Left?

Still way too many examples of engine problems though ... You don't see feedback like that on most cars. I have seen stories many many times on UK and US forums.

Faulty head bolts apparently ...

The law suit came to nothing.

The head bolts were redesigned after some failures.

Both the collapsed law suit and the revised bolts are also well documented.

Hmm
My pal had two of them one after the other. First one went pop. Then the second one went pop.
I do believe that this was very unfortunate.
Early engine defects are not a secret.

 

[ACID]

We rebuilt 8 last year and i have one in the garage to get done.

What are they in for camshafts knocking out?

Would you say they are more or less reliable than other Merc engines in the range then?
