Standing beside a blue hybrid electric i8 super car, the CEO staggered a bit while talking before falling.

Immediately, two men came to help him up and take him off the stage.

The spokesman for BMW, Maximillian Schoberl, later revealed that the CEO had been ill before the presentation, adding that he was now 'recovering well,' after his examination by a doctor.

Unfortunately, this was the 49-year-old executive's first appearance as BMW’s chief at the Frankfurt auto show.
