He replaces Anders Warming that, he will hand the design department of MINI. Karim Habib, a native of Lebanon, but whose family emigrated to Quebec when he was only six years old, it is a homecoming. Indeed, the adoption Montrealais was a protege of Chris Bangle and BMW is that Habib has designed the exterior design of the current 7 Series in addition to working to design the prototype Concept CS and the car Gina Light concept. Karim Habib finds herself in familiar territory at BMW where he will work closely with Adrian Van Hooyndonk, design director of BMW Group.
