Judging by the grilles, you're comparing a 330i to a 325i, which have different intake systems.

EDIT: Nevermind, just looked at the thread and the silver car is a 330i

The pic he posted is of the Silver 330i taken @ the 3 Across America event.

Is it me, or did they remove the 36mm wrench use to remove the filter canister?
