Thanks MAV for bringing that article to our attention. I agree, Reitzle was definitely one of the more passionate people, and should get credit for BMW's successes including the M5, 8 series, and McLAren F1. Not to mention his identification with BMWs auto-enthusiasts.
However, you should not forget why Reiztle got canned in the first place....it was because of the
Rover fiasco.
But having said that, I hope Reitzle will make a comeback to head off something at BMW. The man is a machine!!
