Not what I expect from BMW

I know this is trivial, but this is bothering me for some reason. I took delivery of my 2006 X3 last friday. We were heading down to Zermot Switzerland when my wife wanted to look up something in the owners manual. That was when I noticed that the vehicle on the front of the manual is not a 2006 model but an earlier model with the black plastic bumpers. WTF? Is this just cheap marketing on BMWs part? I realize that nothing has changed between MY05 and MY06 other than the bumbers, but come on. Doesn't this seem like a cheap way out? I have owned 4 BMWs over the years and this is a first. Not what I expect from BMW.
