Yes-- if you read the article- he Un-Bangled the new 7 series as well....
The ironic thing is that the new German Designer (now lead designer) was at Bangle's side for the past several years...

Not sure I see much improvement in the new Z4. Looks like more of the same to me.
Some of the more moderate Bangle gen cars I'm OK with, but the 6-series and that first "Bangle Boot" 7-series don't work. He seemed to have difficulty with the rear end - even the E90 rear end is a little strange.

The E30 and E36 made me a die hard BMW fan. Along comes Bangle and for me took away the quiet, muscular and dignified look to a more flashy (arguably ugly in my opinion) look. This in combination with escalating weight and size of their cars, loss of LSD in non M models and increasingly isolation from the driving experience drove me away from BMW.
Who knows, maybe they'll go back to their roots a bit,

I loved the E46 M3 Cabrio......
