That red E28 is one of the nicest if not the nicest one I've seen.

That one is identical to mine except that I had fitted E34 alloys in lieu of those gorgeous-and uber expensive-three piece BBS wheels.

That really is an amazing looking example, reminds me of a red M5.
 
I'm pretty sure a diecast model of a W210 E55 is about the hardest thing to find relative to the performance of the car and hype when new...none made when new that I know of, nothing now that I know of. Fujimi made a 1:24 kit of a pre-facelift model, that's it.

Matchbox made and probably still do a version of your Benz, although I'm not sure it's an E55 version.
 
I happen to have one from about 2002 same color as yuor E55, but I think with a Nasa signage on it?

Oh yeah their 210 sedan...I don't think it was an E55, but I guess it could be made into one, esp if one could fabricate the body cladding.
 
They made a 208 CLK convertible based on that model too, the convertible actually turned out decently.

That's the one, yeah, a first gen W210. With a lot of superdetailing and some mods it could be made into something.

Yep it turned out pretty well, even the split-spoke wheels are somewhat good looking on it
