NM Eng Torque Arm?

Hi,
Here is the link to the product. It says some of the models after 2007 already have them installed by the manufacture. I have a 2011 Clubman S. Does anyone know if this is the case? Models after 2007 already have the factory torque arms installed?

Thanks

All MINIs have a torque arm. Most MINIs after 2007 have that torque arm design with a circular rubber bushing. There are some MINIs that don't have the circle, but a trapezoidal shape. It's simply saying you have to make sure yours are circular (like in the picture) before ordering.

The NM parts don't replace the torque arm - they are poly pieces that insert into holes in the existing rubber bushings to firm them up. Highly recommended.

EDIT: I very seriously doubt any 2011s would have the trapezoidal piece, but you can check simply by getting the car up on ramps or jacking it up and looking under. The "wrong" shaped one won't be mistaken for the "right" circular one.

Cool. Thanks for the advise.
