Jaguar has never been owned by BMW. It is owned by Ford.
BMW owned Rover. Incidentally, since becoming a British company again, Rover is producing decent cars, and they have a sports car on the way this year, developed under the noses of BMW. You can imagine a Great Escape-esque scene at Rover while under German ownership:
BMW Goon: What are ze Englanders doing in zat garage?
Rover Mechanic: Quick lads - the goons are coming! Put the fireplace back in place and cover the tunnel to the sportcar workshop!
BMW Goon: You zer! Vat are you doing?
Rover Mechanic: Nothing gov'ner . Just polishing my tools. Keeping them shiny like.
BMW Goon: Very Vell. Get back to vurk on ze new mini. Ve vill be taking it back to Deutschland wiv us. Along wiv land-rover and range-rover.
Rover Mechanic: Right you are mate.
