I'm not expecting an M, but I buy a BMW to feel like a BMW. Now Cadillac feels most like a BMW to drive, followed by Mercedes. What gives?

I traded in my 530d Touring SE for a 330d series Touring M Sport. The 5 was a lovely car but it was simply no fun to drive. The 3 is better but it still lacks the outright driver appeal which older BMWs offered. Will they ever go back? I doubt it. If the global market is demanding more of an orientation towards comfort including light steering that's what they will deliver. More's the pity
