Drive Belt Size 2007 Hatch DOHC

Simple question for which I cannot find the answer. What is the accessory drive belt size for my 2007 Base Hatch 6 speed with AC? Is it 1050mm/41.25 inches? That seems to be the most likely so far.

To state the obvious 1050 mm equals 41.33 inches. I would say they are the same.

Thanks but I see that my question was not worded very well. I know those numbers are equivalent. I am asking if 1050mm/41.25inches is the correct belt length for my car.

Sorry, the "or" got me. Wondered why you would worry about less than a tenth of a inch.

I'm still not communicating very well. My question is this:

Is 1050mm the correct belt length for a 2007 Mini Cooper Hatch Base (no turbo, DOHC)?

The answer is no. I got that size from Oreilly's, because their system said it would fit. It was way too long. So I had to jump on the motorcycle all greasy and go get another one. I brought the old one with me to Napa. My old one was 905mm. The closest they had was 903. It went right on. Changing it wasn't that hard. I found that a 13/16 wrench would fit on the tensioner release. But I had to bend my wrench in the vice with a hammer. It needed to be pretty much flat to fit between the engine and lower frame rail.
