Stories are coming through that head of design at BMW, Chris
Bangle, is being investigated by German authorities over claims he
has been involved in industrial espionage. Four computers are
believed to have have been seized, along with a scale model of an
upcoming car.
It is believed that Bangle has stolen recent designs from a Munich
mental institution. BMW didn't bother to deny the allegations,
saying in a statement, "We wont deny the allegations."
A spokesperson for the institution said "It was blatantly obvious
where his designs had come from. I mean, no-one with an ounce of
sanity would draw the new 5 series."
