I believe the current crop of BMW designers want to make a name for themselves (in the wrong way as it currently stands) and not rehash any of the old winning designs. The Z8 used the 507 as inspiration and they hit it way out of the park. That was just too tall of an order for the current designers to try to out do the Z8.

Keep in mind all the designs under Chris Bangle are considered the modern classic BMWs today such as the E367/8, E38, E39, E53, and E46. BMW diverge since that time but its never moved too far from its roots until recently. In 10 years we can watch a video of how the G22 ruined BMW design
