I've driven an E24 M6 gray market with the same M88/3 286 hp engine as the E28 european version M5. That for me was magic. Also drove an E39 US spec M5 as a possible purchase and decided not to. Couldn't get past the steering which was recirculating ball and very disconnected feeling at least to me. If the E28 was anything close to the E24 I drove I'd take it in a heartbeat over the E39 or any of the others.
Interesting that the F80 M3 is larger in every dimension except height and heavier than the E28 M5. Will be interesting to see the final specs on the next iteration of the M3 to see if it exceeds size and weight of the E34.
