V12 side sills fit on a V8?

[Tahoe M3]

Good pick up, but Car and Driver is wrong...and right. AM's own website lists the wheelbase of both cars as 2600 mm, but strangely also lists the conversion as 102.5" for the V8 and 107.9" for the V12. The actual conversion for 2600mm is 102.4" and 107.9" is actually 2740mm...which is exactly the wheelbase of the DB9/DBS. Sooo...chances are that the 2600mm is correct for both Vantages and 107.9" came from AM accidentally transposing the number from the DB9/DBS on their website.

Okay, someone just needs to buy a V12 and measure it for us.
