Land Rover Range Rover 3rd Generation (L322)

2002–2012 · L322 · suv

Third-generation Range Rover. Developed under BMW ownership and launched after the Ford acquisition. Initially used a BMW M62 4.4L V8; switched mid-life to the Jaguar AJ-V8 4.4L / 4.2L supercharged; final cars (2010-2012) used the AJ133 5.0L V8 (naturally aspirated and supercharged). The L322 introduced air suspension as standard and many of the luxury features that define the modern Range Rover.

Watch out: Famous for electrical gremlins — BMW-era electronics on early cars, then a long mid-life with mixed wiring. Air-suspension compressor failure is nearly universal past 80k miles; budget for replacement at purchase. EAS (electronic air suspension) sensors and front diff seals wear consistently. The 5.0L SC V8 on final cars: timing chain and supercharger snout-bearing wear at high miles. A specialist indie shop is mandatory for ownership.
