Hi all,

A couple of weeks back we got the opportunity to meet Mr. Karim Habib during his visit to Dubai, UAE. As a club, we were invited to for exclusive event where Mr. Habib presented to us the new 7 series and also sat down with us for an interview.

Below is a short video of the interview with the Head of Design at BMW enjoy!

Thanks Dackelone

He is a true gentleman! sat with us for over 2hours while we all bombarded him with questions gave us all a personally autographed picture of the 7 series as well.

He currently drives an X1 (keeps changing cars as they release to experience them) and is looking forward to driving the M2 very soon!

Nothing special here, the interviewer seems overwhelmed, and didn't really ask any probing question

Sure is c63er! Given his designation and responsibility, he was really down to earth and chatted with us freely! answered almost everything we asked except for the confidential stuff of course :P

Pretty cool and what a down to earth guy. Thanks for posting. He's in my graduation yearbook he now designs BMWs and I drive them hats off to him, regardless of what people think of his style/taste, it's impressive to see a young person being design chief for BMW. But he lost me when he said he liked "mini" as the other non BMW car, or maybe it was a joke!

Great Interview!!! Always nice to not only get the transcript but to actually view a video where you get the facial expression and genuine responses! Thanks for sharing!!

Of course. It's not like he could've said."Well I really do like Mercedes Benz"
