EPS vs HPS sway bar difference shape?

I took my 2011 lci e82 125i to a suspension place and they said the front sway bar doesn’t fit due to the front EPS but I’ve looked around and I don’t see any different products for “EPS” or for “HPS”

Is the suspension place wrong? Are they all the same no matter what power steering?

Now I see what you're talking about. Realoem just has a generic image. It's the 31356796305 and 31356793190 sway bars listed as being for the CO2 package. You have M-Sport, so the 31356793190 bar. Not sure what your options are.
