Re:
Dobrý den,
Chrise Banglea jsem opravdu "v zápalu boje" přejmenoval za Chrise Birda. Chyba už je napravena.
K Vašemu tvrzení o propuštění bych rád citoval z oficiální tiskové zprávy automobilky z 02/03/2004:
Munich. The BMW Group has reorganised its development departments as it focuses more strongly on its brands BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce. In the course of this new orientation Christopher Bangle, Director of BMW Group Design, has also aligned the design area towards the various business areas of the BMW Group. Brand specific design studios have been set up for each of the three brands BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce as well as for the areas BMW Motorrad and BMW M. These new brand studios will now accompany the entire development process for new models from the first sketches to the start of production. They will receive support from cross-brand specialist departments responsible for strategic and technical tasks, for example model technology.
Z textu vyplývá, že Chris Bangle má stále důvěru vedení mnichovské automobilky. Zprávy o jeho propuštění, kterými "žila" automobilová media počátkem roku, jsou tedy nepravdivé.
