I feel that E53 era cars, such as the E39, E38 and maybe the E46 still have a timeless design.

My new car is a Jet Black 2000 E39 5 series. I still have people going, "Who's car is that?" all the time. It's very flattering knowing my 13 year old (which is nearly as old as me!), $10k car still attracts attention.
