Is there a specific Bilstein HD shock for the xdrive e90s?

Seems the part number for the Bilstein HD shocks are the same for xdrive and non xdrive models. Just wanted someone to confirm. I would have expected a slightly different dampener to account for the stiff rear springs on the xdrive models.

Also, B4 are OE replacements.
B6 is an upgrade over stock for use with stock springs.
B8s are for lowering springs.
