24 Hours of Lemons Winner Trades Roles With Chris Bangle

That's right, folks- rumor has it that Jack Baruth, journalist, member of the winning team at the Flat Rock 24 Hours of LeMons, R8 driving instructor to yours truly, and our very own ViergangFuchs, will be swapping lives with controversial BMW designer Chris Bangle, as part of a new reality-TV series entitled Wait'll The Shareholders See THIS! Look for rollcages and 6-point harnesses as standard equipment on the 2010 models. [Dubspeed Driven]

Chris Bangle: Hero Or Villain?

Somehow Strike Week morphed into BMW Week here on Ye Olde Jalop. Fine by us. Driving down the 101, 110 and 10 Freeways yesterday we saw a Bentley Continental GT, a Ferrari F430, A Ferrari 550, a Gallardo and no fewer than 17 BMW 745/750s. I'm telling you, in certain Los Angeles zip codes there are more big-butt Bangled Bimmers than Camrys. And why not? If you've got it, flaunt the hell out of it. And yeah, I realize I am in the minority, but me still thinks the 7-Series is a seriously hot tamale. That said, I find the 5-Series goofy looking, the 6 half-baked, the Z4 like a nurse shark and the 3 eye-damaging. Though I do find the Mille Miglia Concept to be the bee's knees. But, as always, what do you think?

Bangled Airbus: BMW Design Shows off Airline Interior

Watchers of the upscale, Born Rich, found a shot of an Airbus prototype with an interior that's the product of BMW Designworks, the company's artsy-fartsy division headed by director Chris Bangle. Designworks, which pens everything from watches to lamps to cars and motorcycles fitted the A350 twinjet with spacious overhead bins, flexible lighting schemes and a bar, in a style destined to be known as "Smurfy-modern." The plane's insides will be unveiled at the Aircraft Interiors Expo 2006 expo in Hamburg next month. More »

Bangle Smitten?

World Car Fans caught a shot of someone who looks an awful lot like BMW's design chief Chris Bangle checking out the wares at Ferrari's Geneva show display. Will his next generation of Bimmers be influenced by the swooping lines of Pininfarina's Ferrari 599GTB Fiorano, or by the roundels on the model's blouse. Enquiring minds, and all that. More »

Jalopnik Learns at the Foot of Bangle

Propellerhead design guy Chris Bangle's earned his fair share of grief over BMW's most recent aesthetic direction. And even he admits that he could've picked a better name than "flame surfacing" for the look of the latest Bimmers. We also think the 6-Series is ugly. But having said that, we think that Bangle's one of the most fascinating, divisive and influential figures on the automotive scene today, so the morning speech that Bangle was scheduled to give was probably our #1 must-attend of the whole two-day press hoopla f te thing.

Latest by Seth L: I know where you're coming from Jamo. I think I'm the only person outside of BMW that liked the new 7-series (pre-facelift). I thought it had great road presence, and conveyed a sense of opulence and authority. more »
