And here is the problem: I too wanted mud flaps (aka splash guards) for my 2018 E300 "sports model" with the AMG package. Did lots of research, and found no one made mud flaps for this car. Then one day, I found a site on ebay that showed my car model and the part number for mud flaps. Oh joy. I ordered them (from China). Price was reasonable. Shipping was fast. Went to install. Wasted time and money. They still sit on my work bench. They too do not fit. I refuse to modify these mud flaps, as they still would not fit correctly. When Mercedes comes out with ones that are designed for my car, and fit my car, I will purchase.

Mud flaps on an E? You trying to make an all road kinda set up?
You should have bought an Audi all road and BMW makes a taller 5 series not sure what it’s called.
Why wouldn’t you just get and SUV?

Your ground clearance with mudflaps would be maybe ~3 inches lol

Mud flaps--- I have had them on most cars, as they keep the dirt and debris off the car body. Today's cars, especially with wide tires, kick up a lot of dirt along the side. the mud flaps reduce the amount of stuff added to the side. Had mud flaps on numerous cars, and never scraped them. As long as they are small and not too obtrusive, I don't mind the appearance of them.

I ordered a China copy set for my AMG Line (aka Sport Line) Estate. Fits perfectly. Cost about £45 to UK and were delivered in a week!
Would have bought genuine Merc ones but sadly as pointed out they don't do them for AMG Line cars.
