Chris Bangle Thinks Modern Car Design is Boring

Most of the BMW fans are aware of Chris Bangle, the man behind the design of the E60-generation BMW 5 Series. The car has often been described as the worst looking 5er ever, but one thing is sure – it wasn’t boring.

Bangle spoke for Auto News at the recent Frankfurt Motor Show where he commented on the Bavarians’ current display: “It’s a wonderful stand, it has a wonderful amount of technology they are showing. But as a designer I am used to a set of uniqueness and freshness and change. This will turn into a critique of [insert brand name] and I really don’t want it to be published like that, but for the life of me I can’t find a new idea. They have really good designers, but I’ve seen this all before in other places.”

Do you agree with Bangle? Do we need more versatility in the modern car design?
