Wow, I found this...

Bangle get's a lot of blame because he is the american "face" within the company and design director. Here is the list of who actually designed what.


Joji Nagashima: E36 3 series, Z3, E39 5 series

Boyke Boyer: E38 7 series

Klaus Kapitza: E31 8 series

Geoff Velasco: X3 (Designworks)

Chris Chapman: X5 (Designworks)

Anders Warming: Z4 (Designworks)

Henrik Fisker: Z8 (now with Aston)

Kevin Rice: new 1 series

Erik Goplen: E46 3 series (Designworks/USA)

David Arcangeli: E60 5 series

and the guy you love to hate but don't know it. Former Designworks/USA chief:

Adrian Van Hooydonk: E61 6 series, E65 7 series.

Incidentally, Designworks first project if i recall correctly was rendering the seat/integrated seatbelt concepts for the 8 series.

I won't bother, just let their cars stay ugly.

I actually think the 7, the new 6 are OK. The new 3 won't look as good as the current one, but it isn't bad overall.
