But what the hell do we know.... could just be any number of reasons why he left that are nothing to do with designing cars.
I know lots of people fired from jobs they were good at because of other reasons- fiddling expenses, lack of cultural fit, inappropriate relationships and behaviour, being a crap boss... the list is endless.

True. We don't know why he left. He could have been fired (MB performing better, his vision did not convince upper management etc.) or he could have left for personal reasons or taken a better job somewhere...
What I am missing at BMW are cars that capture the imagination. Some models are good looking and sometimes elegant, but I haven't seen a production car for a long time that can be referred as an instant classic. The M2 maybe, but not because of its look...
