I guess I'm getting old but none of the more recent models do much for me at all. None of them are classy and timeless, but appear more trendy with boomerang vents, headlights blending into the grille, and iPhone screens sticking up out of the dash.

Besides the E92, I can't think of a single BMW in the last 10 years that I think will age well. I'm not an SUV guy but I thought the proportions of the 2nd gen X5 were just right; the new one not so much. I tried to like the F30, but I just can't do it. The 1M was not pretty and I don't think the M2 was much better with its undefined fender flares, overly busy front bumper and ugly vertical reflectors in the rear bumper. I prefer the M235/240i over the M2. The A7/S7 looks better than the 6 series GC. The pinnacle of the 5 series was the E39, and things have gone down hill ever since.

I really hope future designs will stand the test of time like the E46 M3 which still looks sporty and classy at the same time.
