L322 brakes are 100% BMW but LR would only issue a recall after a few deaths I'm sure.

The only reason I'm not worried is because the X5 isn't listed under the recall. The front and rear subframes plus associated bits are off the X5 with only minor adjustments. |

L322 Range Rover doesn't have the same engine as 5,6 or 7 Series V8's does it, they were 4.8's IIRC - also only 11000 cars including all Rolls Royces are included that wouldn't be enough cars if all V8 Range Rovers were included would it? 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes |

Erm. Yes. The 4.4 BMW M62 engine is the BMW Engine of choice in the 5 series, 7 series and X5. Also the Morgan Aero. Our engine comes in a 3.5, 4.4, 4.6 and 4.9 varient. |

There hasn't been any mention of Range Rovers or Morgans made in the press, maybe there is some modification made to the LR versions to make it more suited to offroad use that means that RR's don't have the braking problem. 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes |

I didn't say there has been. You wanted to categorise them by their engine though. Which has little bearing on their brakes.
