Actually perfectlap, the single-row bearing was not introduced until later in the production run of the 2000 model. If yours has an engine number prior to M651 1252 for the 2.7 and M671 11238 for the 3.2, then unless your engine was torn down and had a shaft replacement after it was produced, you have the dual-row bearing. Subsequent to those engine numbers, some 2.7 and 3.2's still got the dual row bearing, but you will have to inspect to find out.

The OP was referring to base Bpxsters and as Kevin confirms, the 3 spoke wheel and lined top were introduced in the 2000 S, but not in the 2.7 until 2001.
