They're both beautiful cars. The right side fender vent distinguishes the diesel W124 doesn't it. I first noticed those on the taxicabs I saw in Norway, couldn't figure what they were, I'd never seen them before.

Those Ronal and AMG wheels certainly make a difference, don't they...

The black AMG 280E manual is a treasure.....drool......
