well at least he might cancel the plans for the sorry excuse of an M car. (X5M)

That car just disappoints me.

[TDE30]

Sweet, is he going to Hyundai?

[Erick]

And just when I started liking some of his designs.

[CAOSyAMOR]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY YYYYYYY!!!

There is hope for BMW once more!

[Tbolt]

im hoping for a remake of the e30 =D

[Jean]

This will be interesting, I really hope they start looking like BMW's again , but it probably won't happen.

"Adrian van Hooydonk, 44, currently the head of design at BMW Automobile, will take Bangle's place as Director of BMW Group Design. He has worked closely alongside Bangle for 17 years"

What if this guy liked everything Bangle did and just continues to make more bangles?

[92 mtechnic cabrio]

You guys can't seriously expect BMW to start designing cars that look like E30s all over again do you?

[Lurker27]

No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die.

[nando]

considering the guy that designed all of the "classic" BMWs (E30, E31, E34, etc) died last year, don't expect a return to the old styling.

FWIW, I liked many of the "bangle" designs - the 5 series, the 3 series coupes, the 1 series, Z4 coupe, etc...

[Raxe]

Adrian van Hooydonk has been designing nearly all of the cars since and including the 2001 E65 7 series.

Bangle has just been guiding the direction and overseeing everything.
