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.
Well although M5/M6 are heavy and big but they are quick and well balanced. They are nimble too but of course not as nimble as E30.
To prove this you can take a look at the real competition between M5 and M4 to see M5 is not slower than M4 over the track.



As far as E9x , I agree they are great M cars ut compare to F8x they are missing the big factor and that's "torque' which change the performance a lot and that's why F8x is faster than F8x everywhere including nurburgring ring.
