How much energy a person has depends on which gear your confidence value is in. For BMW, the eldest son of Bavaria’s automobile industry, it seems that they have never lacked talents, whether in the design field or in the industrial line. In the 1990s, just as BMW was booming, a group of design geniuses joined them. Chris bangle has also injected a brand-new concept into BMW. Although the designer of this BMW 540i(E39) is not himself today, we can also see from this car that Bangor has started to "tamper" with BMW!
It is undeniable that BMW’s "soul" is on the 3 series model, but for the brand, this "soul" can be understood as the spiritual foundation, but it cannot cover all. In 1972, after several rounds of trial loading, BMW defined its own concept of "luxury" car. Different from the sports style of the 3 Series, the first-generation BMW 5 Series is more stable in shape, or rather, it is a bit mediocre.
In the 1980s, the BMW 3 Series began to become popular. Bavarians have seen the different forms of vehicles bring unprecedented market feedback. Gradually, the travel version of the car, the first M5, was also born on the second generation 5 Series (E28). At the same time, the crazy stealing of this generation of cars can often be seen in many gun-fighting movies.
In Bangor’s design ideas in the 1990s and early 21st century, the word "roundness" is always inseparable. When the fourth generation BMW 5 Series arrived, everyone saw an unprecedented BMW. The main designer of E39 is Japanese Nagashima Ranji. I believe he was also inspired or influenced by Bangor at that time, and Nagashima Ranji and Bangor are like the relationship between the main knife and the auxiliary knife on the operating table for this generation of models.
