Christopher Bangle has not only quit BMW but the auto industry altogether!

Here is some news that will be a shocker to the industry: Christopher Bangle has quit as head of design for BMW Group and plans to leave the auto industry altogether.

BMW has announced the news in a press release. Bangle says he will be pursuing other design challenges beyond automobiles.

Adrian van Hooydonk, 44, currently the head of design at BMW Automobile, will take Bangle’s place as Director of BMW Group Design. He has worked closely alongside Bangle for 17 years.
