No diss to anyone but are some of you guys dumb or stupid?

Take a look at the legnth of the engine bay/opening in the picture where the bmw engine is showing... If you guys can't tell, they accidentally put that pic of the bmw engine into that particular ad for the xB... Not to mention the color of the "car" in the bmw engine pic is white and the xB is blue...

I hope that some of the above posts were sarcasm and not stupidity...

cause its not a swap if you look at the pic of the engine bay you will notice

a)the paint on the car on the left side of the pic next to the hood strut the paint is white and the xb is blue
and
b)the black plastic where the headlights are mounted if you look at the other pics you will see the xb has the light grey housing

They must've done an engine bay swap instead of just the engine...

It's white, that's not an xB firewall or strut towers...
