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."
