"The five cylinder direct injection turbo diesel intercooled engine was a brand new design, started by Rover Group in 1993 as part of their development of a range of 4, 5, and 6 cylinder diesel engines to meet all Rover and Land Rover diesel engine requirements. This new range of engines was loosely based upon the L-series 4 cylinder engine, at that time used in the Freelander and various Rover cars.
When BMW bought Rover Group in 1994, the 5-cylinder project's continuation was approved, to replace the Tdi in the Discovery and Defender.
The project was already under way before BMW's takeover, and so contrary to popular belief, the Td5 is in fact a Rover design, not a BMW one. Before starting on project 'Storm', as the Td5 was known during development, Rover's engineers undertook a huge review of competitor's engines, designs and manufacturing practices. The lessons learnt were combined with Rover Group's already extensive experience with the 200 and 300 Tdi and the Rover L-series diesel engines."
