See my post on Paul Bracq. He was the one moving BMW to modern times without having to use "gimmics" like Chris Bangle's flame surfacing.
IMO good design starts with great proportions, simple but strong lines and attention to detail (I mean by that NO ugly hood seam like the F30 3 series). Good design stands the test of time and become "classics". The E24 6 series is an example.
You need a man with strong vision, sometimes revolutionary, and a team who follows his lead. Paul Bracq had free reign during his short 4 years at the head of BMW design and look at what he produced in such a short time. Nowadays design departments consist of hundred of people and the result is half baked products because there are too many inputs hence "design by committee".
