Good Luck with that!

I don't think there will be a buyout at least just yet. A lot of sharing and cooperation in many areas especially in Electric expertise,platforms and current engines. Which you can see new Range Rover and Jaguar prototypes or mules in Munich utilising BMW V8's. There is a lot going on in Munich and certainly BMW Group are investing for the future and that also includes in Brexit Britain.
Some of the ventures BMWi have signed up to.
But also sharing platforms for smaller projects that could jointly be built such as the next line of X1 and equivalent Jaguar model.

They had to paraphrase the analysis' somewhere to fit it in an article.

Let's see how the board votes. Strategic JV's certainly the preferred method, but an acquisition is beginning to gain an edge. Out of all the potential acquisitions, BMW-JLR is near as perfect as they come.
