I find my X5 M60i with air suspension delivers plenty driving pleasure for my taste, the engine, transmission, suspension comfort, etc, all work to a package very well put together.
I hope you may get something you like if your driving pleasure expectations are no longer met by the X5 or X7. But that doesn't mean BMW dialed the driving pleasure out from them, like you said, only that you no longer like to drive them.

No, I equate driving pleasure to feel of the road through the steering wheel and tires. It doesn’t have to be rigid. If you go back and read the thread, I was responding to someone who said the motto “ultimate driving machine” no longer applies to BMW. And it’s true. I don’t know how long you’ve driven BMWs, but they used to communicate without necessarily being rigid or firm.
And you’re putting words in my mouth- I love driving my BMWs. But they’re numb.
