Exclamation Confirmed: Prof. Ulrich Brunhke Resigns as BMW M Chief

Rumours circulating from the company suggests that the Managing Director of BMW M GmbH, Prof. Ulrich Brunhke, has resigned from the company. Gerhard Richter, Director of Development for BMW M GmbH, will be appointed as his successor.

The reson for Brunhke's surprise departure is believed to be the appointment of Dr Klaus Draeger as BMW's new R&D boss. Brunhke was a contender for the executive position, and he was very dissapppointed in being passed-over for the position.

Shameful if true. I'd love to be in Brunhkes position to be head of one of the worlds most sought after performance brands.
