Literally, almost every control, feature and item in my Range Rover is from the E53 X5 (and some from the old 7 Series too!) I didn't have time to take pics of my car, but I spent a few mins finding pics of my exact car. Same exterior colour, interior colour, options, leather, etc, etc.

This article indeed proves your point (

Enjoy your ride, man. Too bad the beamer couldn't please you. I know how you feel as I had a very buggy 2006 ML 500 and there is no feeling worse than paying top dollar for a car that has worse reliability than a $15k Civic...
BTW: I am curious what will come out of the Tata test tube when the 4th generation is due.
