Looks like an E500 with the "sporty grille" (flared fenders).

and a 300E with Euro lights in the first picture.

The 300E looks to be pre-1990, and the E500 looks to be a '95 model. Totally different cars indeed, the grille would only fit a '94 - '95 W124 E-Class.

It must be unless the grill includes the headlight assemblies and front fenders.

The hood is different as well.

The seller has two dings for grilles that were of poor quality (1 BMW) but no dings for selling something that didn't fit at all.

I bought mine from ebay (JKmotoring) for $70 last week and I am very happy with it.
