The man behind the seducing style of every BMW car has put his hands off from the brand. Yes, Christopher Bangle BMW’s Head of Design department who have served the company for 17 years imparting his ideas and innovative concepts on BMW cars will no more work with the brand.
Most of the BMW cars that we see today on roads are developed and designed under
Christopher’s leadership. Christopher’s image and popularity in the car industry became promising in 2002 when he created the redesigned BMW 7 Series with the raised, bustle-like trunk lid. This creative design was christened as “Bangle Bustle” to keep the designer’s name intact with the design. Many cues have been pioneered by him and some of them have been imitated by other car manufacturers as well.
All BMW marvels including BMW 3, 5, 7 Series, BMW Z3, Z4, X5, Z8, X3, the new BMW 6 Series, the BMW X6 and the BMW 1 Series are designed by him with creative, imaginary and innovative power. He has also sprinkled his magic on the new MINI and Rolls-Royce models.With a special aptitude for dedicatedly working with his teams, this great car designer has always made in-routes to a bright, prosperous, and ambitious future whilst maintaining the BMW’s brand identity. He has also been bestowed with a dozen patents for his high-end technical applications and innovative designs.
After leaving such a strong impact on BMW, Christopher Bangle decides to move out and take a new and aesthetic route into future. Now the post is handed over to Adrian van Hooydonk who shares Christopher’s fascination for design, technology, innovation, and tradition.
Hope Adrian van Hooydonk also imprints same success story for himself as well as the company carrying the legacy of Christopher Bangle.
Thats an interesting news. I never heard that name ever in my lifetime. I just knew that there is an American car designer who has designed many of BMW cars. Christopher really had the passion to design extraordinary cars with its novel ideas and unimaginable creativity.
I think that the new chief designer will further lead the BMW brand name to newer heights. He has been with Christopher for about 17 years and thats a pretty long time to imbibe every aspect of designing. Yes, the minds and the levels of creativity may differ but the path chosen will more or else remain progressive in the same direction.
BMW has always stood ahead may it be in performance or in design. With the old creative design head passing the baton to new, hope the new person also can bring elegance to the designs yet to come.
