Chris Bangle on Speed Channel now!
- Thread starter Jimmy540i.com
- Start date
"The X5 caused controversy when it was launched in 1999."
That controversy has made it the best SUV on the market.
I honestly have to say Bangle has done more good for the Auto Industry or BMW, than any other car designer since Henry Earl, I think he made design essential again and if anything more emotion, he will go down 20-30 years from now as a great designer not just because like it or love it products, but the controversy is what gets remembered and 20 years from now the Z4 will be put ahead for its forward looks.
