Favourite question:

"Does the designer have to be a salesmans well?"

Mr Bangle is preaching about the 7-series car design...

He is certainly happy anyway!

"Only the start of the new desing direction... Lot's of things to do..." Geez...

My computer crashed the first time I tried to play the movie hahah

Well he seems like a really nice guy and I kinda feel bad for all the ripping we have been dishing out...
Maybe its because now I can put a face with the name...

Well, I think the 7 series is actually starting to grow on me. I know I said I would never say it...but I actually kinda like it.

Its funky, new, and completely different... but I don't think it looks too bad!?

I wana see it in person...

I always seem to like whatever I've said I never would like.

It's only a 4 minute movie, because that's probably how long it took him to design the car!!
I've been reading about his designs, and he wants to take BMW away from the 'cookie cutter' style of cars around today.
I personnally don't like the look of the new 7, but as you say, once seen in the flesh, opinions change, so I'll wait until then to pass any judgement.
