Nope, no BMW doozil went into a Disco here.
2.8 straight 6 petrol, as in the BMW Z3 was put into 2 years worth of Defenders after the V8 was discontinued.

Hmmm,that sounds like a bit of an odd lump. I think the 2.4td would have been fitted to the E30 3 series bimmer (c reg to L reg years) but only sold (stands by to be corrected) by ze Germans in mainland Europe. Before we all went mad for Derv in every thing, Johnny foreigner was zooming around in small diesel cars, and other Europe only models, like a BMW 325ix (4wd), my personal favourite was the Mk2 Golf Syncro, 4wd, jacked up, bull bars and knobbly tyres, straight off the production line and up an Alp somewhere.:crazy_driver:
