2011 E350 4matic Sport
Which Bilstein struts are correct?

Hello. First time poster, long time lurker. We recently took ownership of a 2011 MB E350 4matic Sedan with sport package/AMG wheels. After hitting a severe pothole, we cracked a front wheel. After having the small crack repaired and replacing all 4 tires, it's now time to replace the front struts since there is a noticeable clunk going over bumps, and I am pretty sure this is all from the same pothole impact. The shop that did the tires also said it was a front strut.

My question...I see a bunch of different bilstein options for the E350, and want to make sure I buy the right pair. I am looking at the regular B4 series, I have used these on other vehicles for years and they are high quality.

So...is there a difference between 4matic and RWD? And sport vs non-sport?

Here is what partsgeek compiles with a search:

If anyone could help me choose the appropriate pair I would appreciate it, as I have read come conflicting information. Thanks!

anyone? thought this would be an easy question. All 4matic/sport package combos should have the same struts, I would think. The question is which ones...
