Chris Bangle

Drafts of Chris Bangle are polarizing: Either you like them or you don't. This was already so with the Coupé Fiat and now is continued with the up to date range of modells of BMW. Bangle's design revolution first was met with opposition. Meanwhile, after a row of modells in the new design, public slowly is becoming friends with his complex familiarization needing style.
