If it wasn't a consumer's demand to tone down the design then BMW wouldn't had made changes in their latest models like X5 and E92.
All car makers make surveys about future designs (even if it's behind close doors with selected groups of people) and the results are evaluated and dictate the design directions. Clearly the results from BMW's surveys must show that consumers want less controversial designs.
