Could you imagine having to explain to people why your face is burned and have all your buddies laughing at you for days?

Hey Guise!

We have fresh meat in the fuel thread. Probably recruited by Rustylogic to come in shut shit down.

However his choice of words Clearly breaks Rustylogics rules. I wonder if 911 is going to be called now?!

Well fuck.. the M156 (C/E63 engine 08-10) has a known issue for head bolts popping off and playing does it blend. Fucking MB is trying to charge $42k (not even a crate engine, piecemeal) to the customer to fix it.. but hey, we'll cover half the costs because we're not jerks.

Are you fucking kidding me. Fuck MB. This issue is mostly caught when coolant disappears without leaving a drop. Apparently a sieving head gasket is the main symptom. Then the techs at MB at many shops tell the customer.. oh we need to replace all the pistons, rods, bearings too!.. Well.. did you do a leak down and compression test to confirm this?? no.. we know already. Fuck you motherfucker. Many owners said after paying $1k diagnostic fee.. took it to a indy shop to get new weistec / arp / revised studs put in, new gaskets and running again for $5-10k. Guess what.. rod(s) weren't bent. Fucking assholes.

Not sure if it's just piss poor luck that it happens or just a matter of time.

I'd still hit it. If it failed.. I'd crash that motherfucker into the dealership.

Holy fuck, that's some stupidly expensive repair. So do I gather you won't be touching the M156 platform with a 10 foot pole?

Edit: Just saw your second post. Get your expensive car stolen if this shit happens.

It's child's play. Not a big deal to pull that motherfucker out and update the bolts. At least it's not like the E60 M5.. vanos oil pump fails.. not even a chance. The honing tool for it cost $15k alone. Crate engine is $26k. Might as well sell it for parts and buy another used one. At least with the MB, not catastrophic.. unless it hydrolocks.

Gotta pay to play with euro cars. That's why I'm still Rollin' in my Japanese stuff. I'd love european, just scares the shit out of me.

And yeah, 42k for a repair? You can almost get 2 older c63s for that price. Or just a newer c63 in general. Such fucking bullshit. Even if they're nice enough to cover half and you "only" pay 21k... At that point you might as well just add to the price and get a different c63. For fuck sakes.

Well, that's why 5+ year old euro cars are such a good deal. You'd better just hope everything will last on it though. Which it won't.

And I'm sorry, no piece of engineering is worth over 40k if it shits itself. What are you paying for besides the name? You can grab an ITR crate motor for like 7-8k, and it'll run just fine for a quarter million miles.

Ok, double the pistons and components for the MB. Double the price to 16k. That seems a lot more realistic. Fucking crooks.

I've read a bit about the vanos system issues on the bimmers, good times.

Getting closer to the current year just makes it that you're going to take more of the depreciation value on your shoulders though. Which sucks hard time with luxury cars.

love the look, dislike the price vs what you get. I'm glad other people buy them so I get to see them, and that's about it haha

The revised engine has most of the kinks out. I still have a budget..
Then sometimes I'm like fuck it.. launch control GT-R.

Are you kidding? Other than some leaks, it's phenomenal. Doesn't really have great presence.. that's a brand identity thing with Audi.. but it's dirt cheap in comparison + great looking interior and the motor is eye candy.

I would get an IS-F or '15 Accord GT over it though.

Performance wise, yeah, but the ford accord would be a very spartan type vehicle, in terms of materials and such in comparison to the rs5 and is-f.

Brother ran the weedeater on choke the whole time once cleaning up the backyard. After like an hour and a half of being in a dark cloud he comes inside covered in black particles and he's like "dude you seen the weedeater? i think it's on his way out".

I don't know why, but I get the feeling Maj is finally going to decide on the CTS-V eventually.

If I see a Vagon in the budget.. I'm not even telling the wife.. I'm going to dealer and driving home with it (long way with several detours of course).

At least you'll have room to sleep in the back of the wagon, after the wife sees it

So what's with the wagon love? Trying to understand. Was never my thing, but some people are all about them. Am I missing something?
