They couldn't bother to develop a brand new engine, but the car needed to sound different from the now archaic F10 M5. Cheap and immature answer? Straight pipe!
M doesn't have a single strong personality that can push for innovative ideas. They had the guys on the top of the industry but lost to other brands...Look what Biermann is doing at Hyundai.

That's a really good point. Bangle had input on cars such as the E46/E60/E9X/etc., and as controversial as some found his designs (...
all of which I personally liked), at least he led and pushed an aesthetic. Bangle, Djordevic, and Goplen were a great team. Hooydonk and Biermann did great jobs as well during their respective tenures. BMW's current designs are....lackluster in some aspects.
