I don't know about the number but have read all 2001 up and some late 2000 models have the larger (12mm) bushings. I just did my built Feb 00 couple and it had 10 mm units. I put the BMW units in but wonder if they will be as strong. The rubber is softer. Good luck with it. By the way you will need a torch to loosen the loctited bolts.

Some indications are: vibration @ high RPM; Noise in the drivetrain. Mine had 48K miles when I took this out and replced it. You can see where they crack over time. I have seen these crack as early as 30K miles.
I used BMW unit in the front and this billet unit out back. I'm pushing over 440 RWHP and no issues.
