Claus Luthe was head of BMW Design at the time, in the same capacity as Chris Bangle, so he along with the BMW Board of Directors would have had final approval on the design. __________________ Al 2003 M5 CB/Silverstone (all options except spoiler deletion), HOME AT LAST! 2008 X5 4.8i Sport Space Gray/Tobacco/Bamboo 2002 540ia Sapphire Black 2004 FX35 1999 MB ML430 (3rd row seats) 1992 Jeep Grand Cherokee 1981 320i 5-speed Henna Red
