Your E420 has a conventional (non-SLS) system. If you want to replicate the factory ride, use Bilstein Comfort front struts and rear shocks. If you want a stiffer, more controlled ride, use Bilstein HD and if you want to lower your car with aftermarket sport springs use Bilstein Sport struts/shocks.
