Chris Bangle, 52, the action man behind modern-day BMWs has quit the German company and the auto industry once in for all. CB worked with BMW for the past 17 years, overseeing the design department which rolled out immensely popular cars like the X5, X3 and the 1-series. His position will be taken over by Adrian Von Hooydonk, who worked closely with Bangle for all these years.
But why does everyone overlook these cars and term CB as an incompetent designer? Fine, he redesigned the 7-Series in 2002, which turned out to be a big disappointment for all BMW fans, but why think of only that?
