Haha and lower emission engines too I guess as I think the Ford engines were quite high?

The AJ133 in my former F type is a Jaguar engine, not a Ford....and it is a good engine; the AJ series was one of Ward's 10 best engines when it came out. They did use the Jaguar AJ engine in the lincoln, T bird and AM Vantage. Unfortunately the supercharged V8 isn't that environmentally friendly and with ever tightening regulations, the writing was on the wall as a turbocharged 6 is far more efficient. I think the use of BMW turbo 6's will be a big step up from the supercharged V6 Jags but won't provide the punch of the AJ133 V8 so many Jag fans will be disappointed.

Oh god. WTH BMW!! Why would you tie up with a perennial loser or a brand? LR is an endless money pit that Tata wishes they could get rid of.
