It appears that the previous snippet of information about Bangle leaving BMW was only partially correct.

"Reports are surfacing that soon after the Geneva motor show launch of the BMW 1 Series, Chris Bangle will move on after 11 years as BMW design maestro. But rather than leaving, Bangle reportedly will move up a spot to be in charge of design for all of BMW, Rolls-Royce and Mini."

So not only has he f***** up BMWs, he'll now do the same to RR and Mini?!!!!

I dont think there is too much room to redesign

I dont think there is too much room to redesign at the other tow car brands. The Rolls Royce probably needs one so it can match up with its sportier brother, Bently. However, the reserved nature of RR's clients make it an evolutionary remodel.

Mini is locked in that buggy look. Its too small to look menacing and must always reflect upon its origininal ancestor.

So there isnt much flexing room in either, but RR has the greater of the two. Where as BMW had a whole lineup to redesign. the other companies are 1-2 car affair, so i dont think he can do much.
