Connecting rod bearings

I need to replace the connecting rod bearings in a 05' non S. I was wondering if there were any differences between the years (02-07) or models? Connecting rod journal measures 43.98mm Thanks for any direction.

S (w11) and Non S(w10) use different Connecting rods...Crank Rod journal is larger diameter on the S ---44mm(w10) vs 46mm(w11) (approx). S also has oil squirting jets in the block to cool the bottom of the piston.

Thankfully they had an application guide when I ordered them. I kind of figured there maybe some differences. Thanks for the info none the less.
