As a lifelong E28 owner/driver (I was present as the first E28 rolled off the truck) and current owner of a 535i and 535is, I do love the E28 M5. But the Euro version is a far more driver-oriented example than the US model, and the US car compared to the 535is really offered only a bit more power which is next to nothing compared to today's cars, and really little else, from seats to spoilers, to Bilstein suspension. My "is" has M5 brakes and, sure, it stops very well. I'd find it odd if it was the best of its era though. And, actually, I find the E34 M5 more of a special car with fantastic "driver orientation" before the next generations became bloated.
With only a scant bit of additional weight over the E28 but with astronomical gains in torsional rigidity and horsepower, don't take my word for it:

I love them all, and I've driven them all. But I keep coming back to my '95 525i 5MT with the M50TU engine as one of the best BMWs I've ever owned beyond 200k-miles. Another 100-horsepower would make it intoxicating! Honestly my current favorite is my '13 128i M-sport 6MT. If money were no object, the 1M is possibly my favorite M-car of all time, even if many don't accept it as one of those, but my preference is to normally aspirated. And I did "own" an M1 for a few days and drove it nearly 1,000-miles, before selling it, but that's truly in a class by itself.
Other than that, I enjoyed the video and didn't dwell on or look for any errors of fact. As the owner of Isettas, 700s, and a New Range '70 2000 sedan, I appreciate the appreciation of those in the video as well.
