I really like my E70, and think it's one of the better BMW designs of the 2000's, along with the E92 I had before. The Bangle era produced some really awful designs, and I'm happy to see that have been mostly purged, with the Z4 and 1 series the only leftovers. The new designs also take some getting used to, but one of them are as polarizing as the Bangle nonsense. There are some elements and angles of,the F15 that aren't perfect, but I think that overall they've done a nice job.
As others have stated, once people see these in the metal then they will warm to the design, and in short order the E70 is going to look even more dated. Note that "dated" isn't a slam,just an observation. The E38, E39 and E53 are dated, but there are plenty of them in the right colors and with the right wheels and tires that look great. Conversely, the E60, E63, and E65 are not aging well, and their goofy headlights and awful trunk shut lines make them look 10 to 20 years older than they really are.
