GL everyone. April 6th, 2023 at 5:09pm ESTTyphoon2 (3) 3Same here, which is why I asked the question about those M156 common failure points. I was super impressed with the seller's response - honest and fully transparent. Seems like a great guy, the kind you want to buy a car like this from as someone noted. Awesome vehicle if you invest in those preventatively. Was going to buy it and make those investments if it didn't shoot up so much last minute.April 6th, 2023 at 4:53pm ESTOeuvre (2) 2I am tempted, but, at this mileage, I would want to replace the camshaft adjusters/phasers with more robust parts from 63 Motorsports, upgrade the lifters, replace the camshaft adjuster solenoid/actuator magnets with the latest revision and install the harness adapters (a.k.a., the "sacrificial pigtails," which is something I've done on my own cars from that generation and later) to avoid the major problem with oil in the engine wiring harness (and pick up a replacement engine wiring harness and replacement ECU from the last remaining stock, which many R63 owners are doing right now, as they are ending production...), and refresh the entire rear tailgate (currently malfunctioning already, it seems...) components (not cheap) to avoid all of the problems that these faulty components can trigger down the line (from problems with closing to alarm to parasitic drain, etc...been there, done that). I'd also tear apart the vehicle interior and sunroof to check for water intrusion, as this is another problem that plagues this chassis. Oh, and also expect major transmission and transfer case issues in this generation of that 4MATIC drivetrain, if they haven't been addressed recently already. It will be an investment, but it might pay off for someone looking to turn this into a garage queen/collector/museum piece and hold onto it for a number of years.

This is a nice one! Super solid, very much as pictured and described. Serious stack of records, including a lot of recent work. Seller clearly is a real car guy and very up front, e.g. the kind of person from whom you want to buy a 16-year old German car (IME half of buying a car like this is about who the seller is).

The hydraulic engine mounts are visibly 50%-75% worn, but, for me, the vibration hasn't become bothersome enough to justify replacement yet.April 5th, 2023 at 5:19pm ESTTyphoon2 (3) 0@seller Hi, to what extent have the lifters, cams and cam adjusters been replaced? Also the engine and trans mounts?April 5th, 2023 at 10:14am EST$27,500 bid placed by @LiveedgeApril 5th, 2023 at 9:53am EST$26,000 bid placed by @gkw123April 5th, 2023 at 1:03am ESTAstonFartin (7) Seller 2@katbeh I have a thick binder full of receipts and records dating back to new, as well as the window sticker.
