Yeah I feel the same way. When I look at the new 5/6 I don't feel the artistic spark. It lacks the inner child. I can almost imagine them in the drawing room:
Designer 1: "Ok, so apparently Bangle stuff was too polarizing/controversial, what do people want?"
Designer 2: "Let's just copy Mercedes/Audi and slap kidney grills/angel eyes on it."
Designer 1: "Okay."
EDIT: Also I agree. The E60 could still easily be mistaken for a new model. My favorite during the Bangle era are still the E60/E92/Z4/E82 and the X6.
