Sorry it was cut off. The graph is 2007 through 2019.

If you don't like the design direction, I get that. I hated the Bangle years, specifically the E60 and the 7 series of that era. So, I'm not opposed to hating a particular design. Fact is, the E60 sold well. I thought it was butt ugly. It looks like you are in a similar boat here. My guess is BMW is not changing their design direction based on forum feedback. They have a plan and its working for them. Your choices are pretty clear: Drive what you have until BMW design returns to your standards, go with another brand, or cave and buy a model your don't love (my least favorite choice).
