2016 motor mount question

[nickp]

Does the 2016 year Rex get the metal motor mounts or did it come with the plastic ones? Thanks.

realOEM.com suggests that the polymer motor mount bracket was installed through 12/2015. If true, a 2016 i3 should have an aluminum bracket. It's pretty easy to distinguish between the black polymer and aluminum brackets by looking at their tops when the cargo floor panel is removed to expose the top of the drivetrain.

Yesterday I checked mine, the polymer bracket on the left is fine. My car got the upgraded bolt back then. There is only one polymer bracket on the left in a BEV, the right one that connects to the diff is from aluminum.
