New head of BMW M division is from Audi

This morning's news is that the new head of BMW M division is the
former directior of Audi Quattro GmbH (maker of Audi performace cars including R8 and RS models). I wonder how his taking over M will affect the selection of engines for M cars going forward?

I can already sense some extremist fanboys saying:

"Good lord, understeer is coming to BMW M" or "Please spare us from you AWD shenanigans"

LOL

True. Think of the R&D and production costs they could save by not even designing an exhaust and just defualtign to straight pipes.
