Chris Bangle
Actually, it was 2004 when he was "promoted" to the newly created post of Director of BMW Group Design, an executive position distanced from the design floor. He has no direct styling reponsibility for BMW future models. He seems to have trained Adrian Van Hooydonk, the current design director, pretty well.

And, when speaking to the media, he claims, by cooking up shit like that, he was single-handedly "revolutionized" car design at a global scale. Modest fellow, this guy is.

That was actually Hooydonk's first design with BMW.

How is that possible? I am referring to the 7-series platform that was released in 2002. Wasn't Bangle chief designer during the development of that model?

If you google or cardomain search 1999 Hyundai Sonata you can see, I believe other Hyundais had it too before it appeared on the 7 series and Maybach/S classes...
