That's the article I read! Anyway, I believe under Chris Bangle, the 5, 6, and the Z4 were penned by separate people...I'm not sure if it was actual Bangle that drew the 7...someone here must know???

BMW 5-Series
Moving memorial
There's tragedy behind the design of the 5-Series' exterior, which is the work of Italian Davida Arcangeli, who died of leukaemia before he could see the finished car on the road. In fact, Arcangeli's proposal almost didn't make the final selection process, says chief designer Chris Bangle, because his promising sketches initially failed to translate to a clay model, and were rejected by the design bosses. But Arcangeli and his modellers laboured day and night to rework the clay to such good effect that it was eventually selected for production. Arcangeli was part-inspired by the surface architecture of aircraft and airships, in which the surface skins cover the structure beneath so tautly that the ribbing can be seen below. The effect is best seen in on the car's flanks, here.

If you stand next to your car and look down the side very carefully you'll see all kind of bends and flowing lines. I really didn't take time to notice this before.
