BMW Will Advance 4WD Performance Variants

The new leader of BMW is likely going to advance four-wheel drive performance models.

After the retirement of Friedrich Nitschke in the end of this year, Franciiscus Van Meel, the previous Audi’s quattro chief will become the new leader of BMW M. BMW stated that he will associate the automaker on October 1.

Franciscus Van Meel was responsible for the R8 development at Audi. Ulrich Hackenberg who is the product engineering boss was not sure if Meel will be able to finish the project due to a questionable future for the electric version of the vehicle. Also Meel had few delays in his work. He was responsible for Audi’s quattro after beginning his work at Audi in 1996 when he designed chassis.
