I think this will be a good thing. BMW has supplied engines for Jag/LR in the past (early 2000's) before Tata bought Jag/LR. Hell the early Fourth gen Range Rover's, the L322 body trucks were essentially E53 X5's with Range Rover body kits.... BMW supplied M62 V8's and M57 Diesel 6's to Land Rover for those vehicles.
Jaguar and Land Rover engines have reliability issues, compounded by supply chain issues. Many of these engines Jag/LR will only sell you a complete short block.
Need a rod or main bearing set? Tough! Buy a complete block and rotating assembly, or a complete long engine. Don't like it? Jag/LR doesn't care!
Now at least maintenance and repair parts will be readily available.
