The E39 M5 was a personal favour among M5s of a lot of motoring journalists so you are not alone with your opinion. I too prefer it to the current M5 but that has less to do with the engine and more to do with it's gizmos and basic balance.
If I was totally honest I feel the perfect N/A engine should always have a minimum of 75% it horsepower figure in ft/lbs of torque but never where the torque is greater than the horsepower, this might explain why I love the AMG engines so much but can't stand the rest of the package.
