Rule of thumb is to take these "best" lists with a grain of salt.
This is nothing more than a reflection of the writer/producer's own opinions.
What it really means is "IMO, these are my/our 10 favorite M-cars".
A different channel could put the F87, E9x, and E28 in its top/best 3 and it would carry the same weight.
By no means are any of these kinds of lists authoritative on what constitutes as 'best'.
Only exceptions in my book are competitions/lists/accolades that are backed by concrete analysis, experience, and debated/discussed and agreed by a professional panel, such as the International Engine of the Year Awards.
Even so, the results are still influenced by personal opinion to a degree, but at least there's an intellectual, fact-based aspect to the compilation of those results. Not just, "Well I think it looks super cool and it's gnarly so it gets my vote"
