All you need is a quick glance at the PS pump to know which version it is. Early cars have the belt routed on top of the PS pulley. Later style has the belt routed under the PS pulley.
You can also get into trouble buying that late style belt from anywhere other than BMW. The later style is a double sided belt and I'm not aware of any other source for that belt than from BMW. Auto part stores, Amazon, etc will almost always sell you the wrong belt if you're looking for the late style belt.

I'd love my local dealer if they had a guy like you managing the shop Deansbimmer. Answers on everything!
