So I wonder where you're getting you idea of what a BMW should feel like from, because it probably isn't from the vastest majority of cars that BMW has sold over the past 99 years?

When I say what a BMW "feels" like, I mean a "relatively" fun car to drive. Not sure if you've driven BMWs from the 80s and 90s but I've driven all 3 series and 5 series from the E30/E34 up to the present F30/F10. Every generation had a connection to the road, although, I am not saying that they were track monsters. It was a certain feel that the current generation lacks. The F30 is not really all that more comfortable so I can't really say they sacrificed handling for comfort. A base W205 chassis is more comfortable but handles better. Go figure...
