if you search in the e55 w211 forum, there are a couple of topics about this. I see you purchaesd them already but arnott industries also have replacement ones for around 4-500 bucks each.

K sport and d2 are made by the same people

I bought k sport sport for my E but only because they are a local business here in AZ, so support would be much easier if I ever had any issues

Good luck!
