Pre-converted vehicles

No work required

Not everyone has the technical skills, garage space, equipment or time to complete a project like an engine conversion. That shouldn’t mean that you don’t get to sample the awesome power and precision of a BMW engine conversion. We are able to offer a range of one-off converted vehicles to take the pain away and just leave you with the most pleasurable driving experience you could imagine in a Land Rover Defender. One test drive of our pre-converted vehicles and you will find yourself gunning the engine at lights and giving other drivers ‘that’ look. Are you ready for a sub-7 second experience in a Defender? Get in touch with us today to find out more. One life. Live it. With a BMW engine.

Frequently asked questions

Will my Land Rover be 2wd after having a 6 speed automatic conversion?
No you still retain the original Land Rover Defender 4wd transfer box so the car will still be as it was before the conversion.
How do you operate the Hi/Low and differential lock with a 6 speed automatic gearbox?
We sell a kit with pneumatically operated rams activated by electric switches from the centre console. You can also fabricate and fit a mechanical linkage or use cable and the usual style high/low lever.
Can you supply a manual BMW M57 kit to suit the TD5 R380?
Yes we can but it is a custom adaptor that we only get made on special order. We advise either sourcing a 300TDI R380 or having your Td5 gearbox rebuilt using a 300TDI main shaft and use a bellhousing off a 300TDI gearbox. If you are adamant you need to keep your Td5 R380 gearbox then please contact us but it is available to order in.
Can you supply parts or fit 335D/535D twin turbo BMW engines?
Yes we can, these are no different to the usual M57 single turbo models for most parts.
Can you supply BMW M47 4 cylinder engines like from a 320D/520D?
Yes we can, please message us for your specific needs but M47 is also available. It is a great choice for Land Rover Series models.
