Chris Bangle rimane saldamente al vertice del design di BMW, smentendo le
voci che lo davano pronto a lasciare la Casa bavarese.
Il discusso ideatore dello stile dell'ultima "serie 7", forte della
rinnovata fiducia da parte dei vertici del Gruppo, sovrintende ora
all'attività di tre team guidati da Adrian van Hooydonk (BMW), Gert Volker
Hildebrand (Mini) e Ian Cameron (Rolls-Royce).

Bangle Strengthens Design Teams of the BMW Group
Munich, February 3, 2004 ... The BMW Group has reorganized its development
departments as it focuses more strongly on its BMW and MINI brands and
Rolls-Royce MC. In the course of this new orientation, Christopher Bangle,
Director of BMW Group Design, has also aligned the design area towards the
various business areas of the BMW Group. Individual design studios have been
set up for BMW and MINI and Rolls-Royce as well as for BMW Motorrad and BMW
M. These new studios will now accompany the entire development process for
new models from the first sketches to the start of production. They will
receive support from cross-brand specialist departments responsible for
strategic and technical tasks, for example model technology.
The heads of departments responsible up to now for the design of MINI,
Rolls-Royce MC, BMW Motorrad and BMW M will head the respective brand design
studios: Gert Volker Hildebrand (MINI), Ian Cameron (Rolls-Royce MC), David
Robb (BMW Motorrad) and Ulf Weidhase (BMW M and Individual). A new yet
familiar member of the team of Group Design Director Christopher Bangle is
Adrian van Hooydonk who will head the BMW automobile brand studio. Until now
