Looks like its a crap shoot whatever bearing / engine is installed in the late 2000 / early 2001 cars. My 2001 S was built in Feb with engine #M96.21 67107779. Its fitted with a dual row bearing and when I replaced it in 2010 with 45,000 miles on the clock the bearing was in excellent condition. But the oil had been changed annually and no more than 5,000 miles....
