They create a skeleton and then lay the fabric over top to see how the lines turn out. They can then adjust the skeleton on demand, and bam you have a new design and a new way of looking at design. The possibilities are endless!
It is brilliant design strategy and awesome out of the box thinking. This is how you innovate and continually keep your product fresh and provide solid direction for the future of the brand.

Did anyone even bother to read the article? Thanks M3Power for bringing some clarity to all this bashing. This car is not "new" per-say. In fact it's not even a car. Instead, it was a tool BMW has been using to design cars over the past decade. Now they've decided to reveal their revolutionary way of designing to the world, in the form of this particular car. It's a great approach, and really illuminates Bangles (or BMW's) intelligence/innovation.
This car looks so much like modern BMW's (and has all the traits some people hate, ie. Bangle butt.) because it was the inspiration for modern BMW's
PS. It's funny that even though everyone hates the Bangle Butt, almost every car company has copied the bangle butt which was first introduced on the 7 series
