If the choice is between an AMG or not an AMG, you sell the one that is not in AMG. Of course that is just my opinion

The E430 with the extra Oomph from the Brabus cams, ECU and non resonated exhaust is nice
Just not as rare, as C36.

I saw a for sale ad with the brabus car and it had a ridiculous open air filter in the engine bay. No one give two cents about any w210 cars. Junkyards are littered with them.

I'd keep the E430. I'm partial to the W210 though.
