While I agree that accountants provide some direction, at BMW that is not the order of business just yet.
Yeah, right. The BMW engineers and designers in the M Divison couldn't wait to do an M version of the X5, X6, and get started on those diesel models - they've got total autonomy.

The same BMW engineers and designers had no support for the previous M versions. They did the Z3MC on their own time, and the Z4 coupe was designed by an outside vendor to show how cheaply it could be done because BMW wouldn't even attempt it themselves. Get real.
