The spy pics of the F10 make it look like a mini-7 with lines that soften the E60's lines and creases. No it does not look like a great leap forward in styling. But the TT V8 going into the new 550 sure does sound exciting.
...and yes my mom is in NY. I was born and raised on Long Island. JUL 25 is soon, but sometime in the future i will need to plan a trip home around a meet.

If I am not mistaken, the TT V8 is slated for the M5 only.

Just tell your mom, "I miss you so I'm coming this month. We'll celebrate your recent birthday in person". She'll eat it up.

In my mind the e46 and the e39 are the benchmarks for the 3 and 5 series. To this day the e46 is still my favorite Bmw.

Regarding the E60 being timeless I must say that for the first time I'm actually thinking that it's starting to look old. And when that feeling has started to grow it's hard to stop it. But hey, I'm also the only one to appreciate the F07 (5GT)...

the E39 is definitely timeless and definitely just as sexy if not sexier than the E60

That's a tough question..
For appearance, I think it's too difficult to decide. But the most timeless in terms of driving experience IMO goes to the E30 3 series. You can drive one today, and realize it was so far ahead of cars in it's era in terms of driving dynamics. It's old, but it still feels like a BMW to drive (though the modern cars are really starting to numb this feeling). And I think the first M3 really does say BMW like no other:

+1 that is the most sexy BMW ever. That said I love my E60 and the E39 - the E39 M5 was very hot. So the first M3 is the most timeless BMW ever, followed by cars like the M1, the 80's M6 (I would still love one), the E39, the 840/50 series, then probably the E60 for me.
