Going in, I knew the new RangeRover was the BMW/Ford orphan. But when I sat in one at the auto show, wow. Its utterly and totally BMW, as if it was the inside of a X7. Everything looks and feels totally familiar to a E38/39/46 driver, yet replaces that sometimes-stark, German feel with a richer, more British ambience. I spent a LONG time in there. A few minutes later, I sat in the E65 where it felt rather strange in comparison.
When BMW does the new Roller (well, its probably too late by now), the interior designers would do much better by studying the Rover over a E65.
