Then the "new" one came out recently and it still wasn't alluring. They make each vehicle too predictable and stagnant. Even though the Panamera has been around for a million years at this point, I'd still love to rock a Panamera Turbo without hesitation. I can't really describe it, but even though the current 5 series has only been around for 4 years, the 6 series for less time, the 3 series for 3 years, and the new X5/X6/X4 basically just debuted, it feels as though they've been around for decades. Rewind back and it felt like each cycle was done pretty quickly. I try to get excited for a new model and it ends up being a regurgitation of the rest of the lineup.
I'll go over to my local anything-else dealership and get something new and exciting. Hell, even the Cadillac CTS-V looks killer and drives amazingly as well. Meanwhile the M5 is a big grand-tourer that can't even put the power down.

For somebody that knows so much about BMW you really are inaccurate. The current 5 series is 6 years old (2011,12,13,14,15,16) and the current 3 series is 5 years old.
Caidillac CTS is down over 40% in sales for 2015 and 50% in November. When they raised the price of CTS they killed it two years ago. You could put 1,000 hp in it and no one will buy a Cadillac car in the US, even the ATS is down 15% ytd. Say what you want just get some facts to support it.
