BMW hires Ferrari’s former chief engineer

BMW has hired Ferrari’s former chief engineer as it seeks to strengthen its technical prowess amid intensifying competition with rival German luxury carmakers Audi and Mercedes-Benz.

Roberto Fedeli, who joined the Fiat-owned FIA.MI Ferrari brand in 1988 and has been head technician on Ferrari models since 2007, will join BMW next month, a spokesman at the Munich-based company said.

The spokesman did not specify Fedeli’s assignment after his move to BMW, which was reported earlier by Automotive News Europe. His departure coincides with the resignation of Ferrari chairman Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, who left the company this month after escalating clashes with Sergio Marchionne, chief executive of parent Fiat, over strategy.
