There's going to be a little bit more Prancing Horse in some future BMWs because the Bavarian brand is hiring <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/ferrari/">Ferrari</a> chief engineer Roberto Fedeli to join the company in November. Fedeli's new position is still somewhat of a mystery though, and he reportedly might be lending his talents to the high performance M division or possibly even <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/rolls-royce/">Rolls-Royce</a>. When asked by <em>Automotive News Europe</em>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/">BMW</a> said <a href="http://www.autonews.com/article/20141008/COPY01/310089974/bmw-hires-ferraris-chief-engineer-sources-say">that it "currently can't say what his role will be.</a>"<br />
<br />
Regardless of his new job, Fedeli was a big get for BMW because of his strong r&eacute;sum&eacute;. He has been with Ferrari since 1988 and led the engineering for the famous Italian automaker's vehicles since 2007. Fedeli tendered his resignation in September at around the same time that <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/09/10/montezemolo-marchionne-chairman-ferrari-official/">chairman Luca di Montezemolo announced his decision to leave the company</a>. However, Ferrari told ANE that there was no connection between the two events.<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/10/08/bmw-hires-ferrari-chief-engineer-fedeli/">BMW hires Ferrari chief engineer Fedeli</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Wed, 08 Oct 2014 18:30:00 EST.
