Revolving Door: Chris Bangle Resigns as Head of Design for BMW

It’s been the end of an era this week in the world of automotive design, as the head of design for car manufacturer BMW, Chris Bangle, has announced that he has resigned from the position he’s held since 1992. While as many people didn’t like a lot of his choices as did (particularly die-hard BMW enthusiasts), Bangle was one of the most well-known and controversial designers in the business, leading up the look and feel of BMW, as well as for Mini and Rolls Royce (subsidiaries of BMW), for more than a decade and a half, resulting in the company’s continued brand strength.
