	Oak Park Newspaper
		BMW chief stylist Christopher Bangle said at the launch of the 745i that he was moving the car’s design well into the future and that it will look fresh for years to come.
		Bangle, but my feeling two years later is that the car doesn’t look any better and that the trunk line was a mistake, although overall I do like the design.
		Bangle seems to have the BMW board mesmerized by his visionary thinking and his somewhat quirky designs are now regular fare for the company.

		Bangle realises that it will take consumers a while to get used to all the functions and controls, but he says the system will lift buyers' opinion of the product in that they will enjoy it for a longer period.
		Bangle's vision is well thought through and thoroughly convincing, but the next decade will decide whether it is successful or not.
		Christopher Bangle was born in Ravenna, Ohio, in 1956, but spent his youth in Wausau, Wisconsin.

		Bangle reveals first the wheels of the concept vehicle, then its flanks, and on up to the hood, all the while acting as a kind of master of ceremonies in overdrive: "We call this 'flame design'.

	BMW - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the early part of the 2000s, BMW undertook another of its periodic cycles of redoing the styling design of its various series of vehicles, under the auspices of newly promoted design chief Christopher Bangle.
		While Bangle did not pen all of these designs, and has indeed been promoted within the company, some question what long term effect the disaffection of BMW traditionalists for these designs will have on sales, and on the company's future.
		Bangle seems to posture that he wants people to either "love" or "hate" a design, but not be indifferent to it.

		The history of the X5 begins in the late 1990s, when Chris Bangle drew the first sketches from his Designworks studio in California.
		Bangle is both admired and derided for his unconventional and challenging designs-something both the X5 sketches and the E46 3 series can attest to.The takeover of Rover proved to be very beneficial for BMW in the development of the X5.
		These designs called "flame surfacing" by Bangle did not rest well at all with BMW enthusiasts or the automotive press which referred to the new designs as "Bangled" or "Bangle-ized".

		Bangle is probably the only auto stylist to have a web site dedicated to him, called “Stop Chris Bangle”, so you can gather that not everyone has liked his work.
		Bangle also denies that the new 5 series originally had been designed to be a smaller version of the 7 series but was toned down because of harsh criticism of the 7 series.
		The fact that Bangle’s far reaching overhaul of BMW’s family identity is now nearly complete is not the only sign that the American’s influence in the boardroom is slipping.

		Those designs, whether personally sketched by Bangle, approved by Bangle, or just waived under Bangle's nose, all share one thing in common: They are not future designs.

		Chris Bangle joined BMW as Wolfgang Reitzle was a member of Board of Management, Market and Product of BMW AG.

		The 46-year-old Bangle, a native of Wausau, Wisc., and a 10-year veteran of the Munich-based BMW styling team, defines the 745i and the Z4 as "artistic creations miles apart from anything that came before."
		Hakim reports that Bangle's approach to design is "hyper-cerebral," which should make his professors at the famed Pasadena (Calif.) Art Center College of Design proud of their transplanted student.
		In the course of the interview, Bangle cited the Dutch artist Vermeer and Sir Kenneth Clark, the British art historian, as influences, among others.

		"What Chris Bangle is doing is reading that into the marketplace, and, rightly so, developing vehicles that go after individual emotions," he added.
		Bangle is particularly fired up about BMW's new Z4, which he claims represents an aesthetic leap in car design, analogous to the shift in Greek sculpture that occurred when sculptors discovered the power of draping cloth on nude figures to infuse them with an illusion of motion.
		I've never seen this car in person, so it's a little hard to evaluate this claim, but it would be nice if Detroit’s automakers, who once seemed to have some insight into car design, took Mr.

		Bangle didn't have a part in that one.
		Sure, the new 3 series are definitely an eye catcher, especially for the new generation of BMW enthusiasts and owners, but I know a lot of people who thinks the design is no longer "original".
		Face it, the car is indeed more aerodynamic with its Bangled Flare Design, and more aggressive, but when compared to the E46, it looks like BMW jumped the evolution of the 3 series to a light year ahead.
