W212 facelift
Rear shock absorber for comfort

Hi, My E250 w212 2015 need to replace the rear shock absorbers (and maybe Front too). My car have code 485 (comfort running gear). So I need some advice type of shock that favor smoothness and comfort.

In my area, the are several types of shock available:
- Bilstein B4
- Boge
- MB OEM part number: A212 320 06 30 for rear. But not sure it real OEM or Fake
- Koni Active (red).

Please give me some advice.
Thanks.

I think the Bilstein B4 is the OEM replacement. Is your car 4matic or RWD? Where are you located?

EDIT: I found Sachs brand identified as OEM for your car.

Mine is a 677 suspension. Also SACHS from MB.
I replaced with B4. You wont regret B4 bilstein, it is very nice n comfy as SACHS but queiter than SACHS.

But the high speed lane change and hard cornering B4 kill SACHS by far. Fast lane change is sooooo obvious STABLE....while being comfy
