When did the 4.4 V8 switch from BMW -> Jaguar?

As above, really - looking at buying a 55-reg RR Sport (G4 Challenge Vehicle), how can I tell if this was fitted with the BMW or later Jaguar 4.4 V8 engine?

Oooorrr....have I got the wrong end of the stick completely and these were always fitted with the Jaguar lump??

hi, not sure about the sport but on the vogue they fitted the bmw m62 engine up to 05/06 and then on the face lift they went on to the jag engine so it would be around late 06/07 it was at this point that the interior changed as well,the center consul to accommodating the jag gearbox

OK, thanks guys! Damn, Jag engines had the softer valve seats = less suitable for an LPG conversion. Still, can be done, will just cost a bit more! - Range Rover Sport 4.4 V8 HSE G4 Challenge vehicle (FOR SALE)
