Only e39 I've driven is my dad 528i, which must be worlds apart from an M5. I will say that I can understand the smoothness, and it is definately more confident at high speed turns (although I think my e30 would outhandle it at the limit, you have to drive the e30 to the limit, the e39 will just cruise up to it with no problems).
At low speed more techical turns (like an autox) the e30's nimbleness comes forward a lot more.
I want a black 540i as my DD once my e30 gets too crazy to be daily driven.

Yep, friend has one. 1st gear is almost useless on it too if you turn traction control stuff off lol. I wouldn't say it's as nimble as the e30 though, it's a great car but once you start pushing it through the corners you'll notice it's size and weight ;)
I love e39 5series, great car!Mtech1 v8 build thread - https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/sho...d.php?t=413205

I agree with just about everything you've written, besides:

I never drove a stock M3 tho :p Maybe it's been a while since I drove a stock non-M e30 either.... it really did not feel like a 4000lb car.Erick Mahle | FullOpp Drift | YouTube

Haha, awesome! Funny, because I was also given the opportunity to drive one (as hard as I wanted) a couple days ago. I'm not so sure I'll ever look at the e30 the same way ever again. I'm never going to forget that car. It was insane..-Adam Schmidt-
