Looks like a tunk spoiler and some other serious cheese has been tacked onto it.
@cascade, perhaps this could be a candidate for a PunchList?
1993 Mercedes-Benz 400E
M119-Powered W124, Black on Black Color Combination, AMG-Style Body Kit
This 1993 Mercedes-Benz 400E was delivered new in Illinois where it remained until relocating to Florida in February 2024 by the current seller. Finished in Black (040) over Black Leather (261), power is provided by a 4.2-liter M119 V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Factory equipment includes a power sliding sunroof, Euro headlights, central locking, heated front seats, automatic climate control and an Alpine radio. The car has been fitted with an AMG-style body kit, exhaust, and 18" AMG monoblock wheels. Recent service history includes new H&R springs, Bilstein shocks, a brake fluid flush, new brake pads, and an oil change. Now showing 148k miles, this 1993 400E is now offered for sale by the current owner with a Carfax report and a clean Florida title.
The body is finished in Black (040) with matching lower body cladding. An AMG-style body kit has been installed featuring both front and rear bumpers, fog lights, side skirts, and trunk spoiler. Extended fender flares are installed on all four corners. Other exterior features include a power tilt/slide sunroof, Euro headlights, power adjustable door mirrors, heated rear glass and central locking. The front grille and hood emblem have been painted black to match the paint. Various rock chips are visible on the bumpers.
Staggered 18" AMG Monoblock wheels are fitted with a set of Hankook Ventus V12 evo 2 tires measuring 225/40 up front and 245/35 in the rear with 2023 date codes. The seller notes that all four brake pads were replaced within the past two months along with a brake fluid flush and the installation of new H&R springs and Bilstein shocks.
The cabin is upholstered in Black Leather (261) with Burl Walnut wood trim which lines the center console, dash and door panels. Cracking is visible on the center console wood trim. Both front seats are heated and offer 10-way power adjustability with two-position memory for the driver. Additional features include a power-adjustable steering column, automatic climate control, cruise control and an Alpine Radio. The seller notes normal wear shown on the driver's seat and a burl wood shift knob has been installed.
The four-spoke leather wrapped steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer along with a 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature and oil pressure. A digital outside temperature sensor is mounted at the bottom of the cluster and the "bulb out" indicator illuminates when the lights are on. The six-digit odometer shows just over 148k miles.
This W124 is powered by a 4.2-liter M119 V8 which is factory rated for 275 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through four-speed automatic transmission. Recent maintenance included an engine oil change, new brake pads on all four corners, a brake fluid flush, and the installation of new H&R springs and Bilstein shocks. An aftermarket AMG-style exhaust has been fitted showing AMG stamped tips in the rear.
The Carfax report shows an accident in August 2006 which resulted in the insurance company writing off the car as a total loss. The car holds a clean Florida title in the seller's name.

The MB Market Insights
The W124 is a bonafide classic in enthusiast circles but the V8-powered 400E has been consistently underrated next to its Porsche-built big brother the 500E. These 8-cylinder sedans provide power, comfort and legendary reliability while sporting a sacco-designed suit that fits the bill. This example pays tribute to the legendary AMG Hammer with an AMG-style body kit and updated suspension. While AMG Hammers are now unobtanium for many due to soaring prices and collectibility. For those wanting a driver spec V8 W124 that still has that AMG look and can be driven daily, this 400E surely fits the bill. In terms of value proposition, this may be the most bang for your buck for any premerger AMG enthusiast that isn't trying to break the bank.
