If the discount equals the next 12 months depreciation, then buy it because you can sell it without losing too much if later this year you decide you want the new model.

The 460 will come fully BMW engined... 100% all the engines will be BMW units... |

I only see that as a good thing, I know there are plenty of fans of the Supercharged V8, but it's getting old now. I spent 2 years / 50,000 miles with the current BMW 4.4 V8 engine and it's a great engine. It was fitted to a G11 7 series and on long motorway runs (at a decent) speed it achieved around 40mpg, which was partly because the 7 is relatively light (carbon core etc) but also because the engine is incredibly efficient. Sounded really good too, I had the M Sport exhaust on mine and it was pre DPF. MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid MY19 SDV8 Autobiography - Sold |

I have the 4.4 V8 in a M5 Competition running 625BHP. It's a peach of an engine. MY23 D350 HSE

No argument from me that BMW make fantastic engines, they really do. For BMW's...At the moment I've only got the little S55 BMW engine in my wife's M car, and it is brilliant in her little car. Mercedes AMG went through a similar thing, the new smaller V8 twin turbo's are fantastic engines.

Are you sure this will include the V8 petrol? Why have they recently taken over the manufacturing of the 5L Supercharged V8 from Ford? And why is the new Defender V8 using the Supercharged engine instead of a BMW sourced one? I’m still very much undecided, I would love to have more info on the next gen FFRR but there’s very little info being leaked. Do you know if the entire model range will be hybrid, there’s talk that even the petrol V8 will be mild hybrid. |

BMW engines would also mean a very short lifespan for the Ingenium engine platform. Particularly by JLR standards. |

Hmmmm..... I must admit that I don’t think the Ingenium engine has been the the star JLR thought it would be 🤔

Reviews have certainly not been kind to the Ingenium.

Why on Earth would Land Rover want to ditch its hard won independence in engine manufacturing, when they have a modern design, of their own, very early on in its production life. It would not only be costly to close that and buy in, but BMW would have control over LR’s production numbers, in the same way that Ford did at the end of the Defender’s production run; demand was still there, witness the last minute production extensions, but Ford wouldn’t supply enough engines (and that’s what I was told, at the factory, in 2017). |

I think that sums it up. |
