Breaking: BMW design chief Bangle quits job

Chris Bangle, the often controversial BMW Group head of design who has essentially become a household name for millions of enthusiasts across the world, has announced that he will be leaving the German automaker to ?pursue his own design-related endeavors beyond the auto industry,? according to a release issued earlier today.

Bangle?s departure comes as a surprise to many in the industry because, despite his polarizing designs across the BMW lineup, his projects have generally been met with commercial success and he is well-revered within BMW circles.

Adrian van Hooydonk, head of design for the BMW brand, will succeed Bangle effective immediately.

Bangle?s unique surface detailing has become a staple of the BMW lineup, though more recent designs - such as the all-new 7-Series - have been toned down compared to his earlier designs, like the current 6-Series.
