There have certainly been a few ugly flops such as the previous ML or current R-class, but his successful designs clearly outweighs the former. Brilliant career.

i am not saying he directly participated in their design, but as head of design (r/ml are pkw) he had to overview or somehow approve it

Off topic good news: "Recently, BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer announced his company had cancelled plans for a rival to the R-Class, saying the vehicle would 'not fit BMW?s image.'"

Good riddance. He presided over the blackest era of MB Design. His work largely cheapened the brand and the only really classy model under his watch was the Current and perhaps the previous CL. Compare him to his brilliant predecessors Bruno Sacco (W123, W124, W126) and the sublime Paul Brac (W114/5, W108/9 and the superb Pagoda SL).
