This is a quote from "The Bible"

Ford and Rover Automatics
Several 280i cars were fitted with a three speed Ford C-3 automatic transmission. Even a few 350i cars were fitted with the Austin Rover automatic transmission from the Rover SD1. when this car was discontinued, the transmission source went with it and, after 1986, the standard Rover manual transmission was used. What is interesting is that there was a 350i automatic that went out with a carburettor fuel system instead of the standard fuel injection. In both cases, these units can only be removed by.........................

Hope this helps
