摘要

MUNICH - Oliver Heilmer, president of BMW's Designworks subsidiary in Los Angeles, has been named head of design for BMW's Mini brand. Heilmer, 42, will take the post Sept. 1, BMW said last week. Mini has been without a design boss since Anders Warming quit nearly a year ago to head design at Borgward, a German brand that has been revived with Chinese backing.
