BMW 5-Series Forum (G30) - View Single Post - Would BMW Benefit From Purchasing Jaguar Land Rover? Some Analysts Think So

I hope BMW doesn't buy them. RR the only brand left with some non-vanilla soul in the high end suv category. They don't need 12 versions of a RR sport which is what bmw will do. Just the SC V8 will do - yes improve the nav system (ford sync 3 is near perfect with iPhones and android...iDrive still not so much). BMW could learn from the build quality and sounds that come out of them and the experience it provides while not really being "fast". I don't want the RRs dumbed down mechanically for mass production, they shouldn't look like beavers either...don't ruin the alternatives to you!
