I'm also curious what the differences are between an AWD 4 door front struts with EDC and an AWD 2 door front struts with EDC.
If I look up the part in the BMW parts catalog, the electronics are part of the strut and not shown as a separate part. Whether they can be physically removed anyway I do not know because I have never looked close enough. As for differences, if I look up the part for my F12 convertible it shows it is the same part as the F06 Gran Coupe, but NOT for the F13 coupe. I have no idea what that difference might be. Kind of surprising.
