Roverhound said:The transmission is a German made ZF unit. Much better then the GM garbage BMW used in thier own cars throughout most of the 90's.
Just to set things straight, BMW has used ZF automatic transmissions in their vehicles since 1976. They did use a few Borg Warner transmissions in earlier vehicles.
Land Rover's choice for the ZF automatic had nothing to do with BMW's temporary ownership. When the Range Rover arrived in the US in 87, it had a ZF automatic. All US Discoverys, Defenders and Range Rovers if they were automatics had ZF transmissions.
