BMW 7-Series Designer Karim Habib Lured to Mercedes

First came the unexpected departure of Chris Bangle, and now BMW has lost another designer, this time, to the competition.

That's a shame, the new 7 is gorgeous. I saw my first one in person on Saturday. Black 750Li. Only had my phone with me unfortunately.
