This isn’t breaking news, but I just came across it and didn’t find any matches in a search on this forum.

"Oliver Heilmer, previously in charge of MINI Design, is now responsible for BMW’s compact and mid-size models, plus BMW M."

"Holger Hampf, Head of BMW Group Designworks, will now be in charge of design for the MINI brand."

That just means they have design locked Neue Klasse to ~2029 and are working on the generation after NK. Oliver was head of BMW Interior Design 2013 to 2017 before he took over as head of MINI design.

That’s fairly typical movement within BMW/MINI.
