Settle an argument

Hi all
Can anyone tell me if the BMW X5 has any Land Rover parts in it from the time that BMW owned Land Rover? 2008 Factory HST- Sold

If it helps your argument, the x5 was copied from the l322 even though the l322 was full of bmw parts . Thumbs Up

Yes even my 11MY L322 had BMW branded interior parts e.g. sunroof controls and fuse boxes etc

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

And yes an X5 has tech that BMW took from Land Rover, including BMW's version of Hill Descent Control. One piece of crap technology that LR got from BMW was the awful version of the 3.0ltr TD engine that the FFRR got, that engine in my first FFRR made me really wonder why people ranted so much about BMW engines becase the one in my FFRR wheezed and rattled like an old dog with TB. Smooth and quiet were things it certainly was not. Put me off ever buying a BMW. During the Ford ownership of LR there was also a lot of Volvo technology and on Evoques you can easily find the Volvo logos even today on some of the components like Blind Spot Monitoring and Surround Cam System also some of the plastics have Volvo logos on them.......
I think though that apart from a serious cash injection Land Rover got far more out of BMW than BM got out of LR. LR learned how to put cars together properly and how to finish them off. Quality Control at land Rover was nonexistant before BMW, and under Ford it improved even more. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW
