Hmmmm. Each time I see one now I think they look old now. It's of an era that was pre-Bangle influence. You could line up an E39 alongside all the current range and get any non-enthusiast to point out which one looks outdated and I'm pretty sure the E39 would get a large number of the votes. I think the E60 however would hold out pretty well when compared against current 3, 6 and 7 series in a similar poll. For me it looks still at the cutting edge of BMW design, with only the new Z4 and 7 series as the exceptions (with their monster-sized grilles).
Regarding the look of the e60.. i personally think that desing is ahead of its time, maybe the reason for the love it or hate it effect. You can never confuse the front of this car with anything else.. The eyebrows are the trademark of the e60 as was the 4 round "bare" headlights with the turned down panel for the e34

See
Seeing that 2002 tii brings back such memories of BMWCCA events during the late 1970s. What a great car it was.

Most timeless?? Time will tell, as for now, the most timeless BMW design would HAVE to be the 507!!

+1 Dave, have to admit that 507 is still gorgeous.
