Wow. this tells me, Hyundai's future is bright, Kia already snagged audi's design cheif. big hole to fill but good people are out there. I work in software and great talent moves around a lot, sometimes new blood is able to think outside of the constraints the old regime might have created

Biermann departure is very serious. If you know a little bit about the BMW organization you don't need someone to explain you why. Big mistakes like these will backfire sooner or later. Take Schreyer's example ...during a rare interview – with an even rarer admission of fault – Piëch ( VW) made it clear his company should not have let the talented designer head for Kia/ Hyundai, saying plainly, "We should not have let him go." This remark coming from a guy like Piëch was extraordinary and I believe this applies to BMW/ Biermann case as well. You must be humble and eager to learn from both your mistakes and from those who are leading the pack. Hyundai is a company to watch ( and not GM, Ford etc). And I am saying this with regret.. |

EVERYTHING is up in the air now!
If the M2 doesn't knock my socks off, my loyalty may really be in trouble.

Not gonna lie, if I wanted a good Luxury level car, the new Genesis is really strong contender. KIA's K900 also made me do a double take too.
That rule 60 sucks but I could also appreciate moving executives along than having the same old guys run the company forever and ever. In this case though, I would think there should have been some kind of exception. Hyundai's cars are now going to get sweeter down the line. Nah, he has one himself! Can't hate something you help create and own.

Absolutely no doubt that he brought a ton to BMW, but I just don't understand these forums. The same guys that demoan how the F80/2 is no longer an M car (whatever the hell that means) are now saying that the future is bleak? Which is it? |

I think this is the right answer if not a large chunk of it.

For those that do not understand the "60" rule. Have you ever worked/been in the company of an executive/CEO or otherwise age 60 or older?
My father in law started, and is now on the board of his once private major auto supplier, now public. This is not a bad thing. All those years of expertise, tend dwindle new in focus and fade with age (watch one of them care to use, or keen up latest iPhones/tech). Not that 60 is old per se' but I'm certain you gather my point. M has been, and needs to have strength/youthful energy behind its future focus. |

Give the guy a break, he probably got a decent offer from the Korean's.
Besides, to judge a strong Brand failure because of one guy departure is insane imo. Everyone can be replaced! Just look at Jobs and Apple. M will maintaine a strong future as well.

U can only improve what is given to U. 30 years who has a job last for that long any more. Much respect to Albert Biermann, the wisdom will be missed but maybe a more youthful mindset is what is needed. And YES it is time for an AWD M3/M4 Option! |
