Cars do not, generally, appreciate. When the smarts were the "new thing" you could make some quick $$$ but those days are over. Now, if the question is "Will I ever get my $$ back on the Brabus package" the answer is "NO". It's strictly an appearance package and... traditionally... you lose out. Honestly, you could save a ton of $$$ and just get an all-silver or all-black passion and most likely be very happy.
