Always forgotten is the timeline.

The 1M Coupe was developed under Dr. Kay Segler who also commenced work on the BMW M3 and BMW M4 and F15 X5M.
New current M chief is responsible for the completion of the new M6 Gran Coupe the M3 and M4 aswell as the Competition Pack for the M5 , but also Has started work on the X6M , M2 and X4M and another M Project.
The current M5 and M6 were developed by the current BMW US CEO Ludwig Willisch and completed under Dr. Kay Segler.
