Hey subterFUSE, I tend to agree with all your posts.
Unfortunately this is true and the U.S. car industry's days are sadly numbered. God help our trade deficit.
The only exception is the Z06.

My Ride: '04 525i, sport package & all the other goodies included
I'm driving a 2006 Cadillac DTS right now. BMW stealership gave it to me as a loaner until they do scheduled maintenance, seat belt repair and put 4 FREE tires on my baby.
Definitely handles like a ship in high seas. Smooth ride though in a straight line.

0.9 litre that means 0-100km/h in 1 hour or what?

I'm currently in the same position, but have yet to return to my e60. I'm visiting family and driving an x5 3.0 at the moment. Some things that I notice is that the seat belt is much more difficult to pull, requiring more strength. The wheel is more difficult to turn and the car is soooooo slow! I miss my e60

The DTS and the 5-Series really aren't in the same vehicle class, so driving them is obviously going to feel different.
I love the DTS as a rental car. It's certainly light years better than any "large" Cadillac they've ever made.
