No offense to the M5/M6 crowd, but they're never going to be considered the best M cars due to their size and weight. M cars were built to be small, light, quick, well balanced, etc. The e30 is always considered since it was the first. I've owned/own an e36, e46, and e9x. My favorite is the e36 because of what it was which can never be repeated. IMHO, the best all around M is the e90/e92. Comfort, design and near perfect handling with the best engine BMW has ever built. The e46 was such an amazing upgrade to the e36 with the screaming S54 engine, but it was still too raw compared to the e9x. If we are talking about the best M5, the e39 will never be matched by any of the current versions.
