I don’t know how much money they make. enough I’d say, but they deserve it because they#re brilliant designers. what i was bithching about is that they’re credited for the work they didn’t do. But that’s the media’s fault not their’s.
As for the Z3 Coupé, that news to me, but anyway it’s a derivate of an existing model and can’t be considered an indipendant design. The Z3 was designed by Joji Nagashima who also designed the predecessor of the current 5-series and the current 3-series.

Actually, I believe Bangle penned the BMW Z3 M Coupe. To my knowledge that is the only vehicle.

Anyhow, this is just pure literary poopie, and only serves the ego’s of those who were nominated.

Now lets go design some karz…..

Same media BS everytime. They don’t differ between the people who led the design team and people who actually DESIGNED the car.
Bangle is a brilliant designer but he didn’t design a single car for BMW. Anders Warming designed the Z4. And the Flame Surface theme were established by two concept cars: The Z9 (Adrian van Hooydonk) and the X-Coupe (Chris Chapman).
Same goes for DaSilva. He did not design the R8. He might be one of the best designers out there but I lost a large part of my respect to him when he claimed that he designed the A5 while he didn’t. It was Satoshi Wada, who also designed the Q7. DaSilva just led the team.

Anyway, i think that Henrik Fisker is missing here. A brilliant designer with an incredable sence for forms and lines: Aston Martin DB9, Vantage V8, BMW Z8.
I’d also add Shiro Nakamura, Nissan’s head of design.

My dick is bigger then you dick, lets cock fight……

This is why people hate car designers……They should rate the designers who’s design’s made the most money for said design studio……. now that would be great to see.
