Designed by Richard Woolley Work on the new model, codenamed R40, progressed with little operational interference from BMW; the styling received an enthusiastic response from the management and both companies believed the classical look would be the ideal direction for Rover The Rover 75 was unveiled to the public at the 1998 Birmingham Motor Show, with deliveries commencing in February 1999. Assembly originally took place at Cowley but in 2000, following the sale of the company by BMW to Phoenix Venture Holdings, production was moved to Longbridge in Birmingham, The 75 featured a range of petrol and diesel engines from 1.8- to 2.5-litre sizes, transmission on all models were either the Getrag 283 5-speed manual, or the JATCO 5-speed automatic unit

 

The Estate version, or Tourer was launched in 2001 running through to 2004 available with a variety of petrol engines and the BMW derived Diesel .The diesel unit was BMW's common rail motor, designated M47R. This unit was a mildly de-tuned BMW 2.0-litre turbodiesel, the same core engine being used at the same time in the parent company's 3 & 5-Series models and later found in the Land Rover Freelander from 2001.

 

In 2004 the 75 received a major facelift with a revised front fascia with a mesh lower grille, one-piece headlights with halogen projectors, revised front and side indicators and fog lights as well as a larger chrome grille. The rear also featured a revised fascia with a chrome boot handle
