So, Bangle first came to light in 2002 with the somewhat controversial e65 BMW 7-series. Yes, he'd been designing cars long before this but for some reason, this was the car that suddenly made him known - usually for the wrong reasons.
Anyway, I'm quite fond of his work and reckon his designs have definately come of age. The slight mention of his name seems to cause uproar, which seems unfair nowadays. Here are some of his creations:
The BMW Z4M. In my eyes, a beautiful car - agressive looks and a stout nose. A car whose looks are certainly on par with its performance.
The Z4 roadster. Leagues ahead of its Z3 predecessor with its buff looks and performance to match. A roadster with all the right curves despite being so far from the norm.
The new e92 3-series coupe. Moving on from the awkward looking e90 saloon, the new coupe seems to tick all the boxes on the design front. Modern and one of the most elegant designs on the road. It's striking, but lacks the controversy of Bangles usual efforts.
The e60 M5 and e60 Sport. Possibly the most controversial of the lot. It's not pretty, but in my eyes it's close to perfection for a sport saloon. Agressive modern looks. So wrong in SE form with small wheels, but so right with the correct wheels & spec.
