For me, it has to be the e32 735i, which I consider to be a graceful confluence of old-school BMW big-6 sweetness and refinement, coupled with timeless styling and a reasonable level of amenities. I recall driving a brand-new example 100 MPH one evening on a deserted U.S. interstate and marveling at how button-downed, composed and confidence-inspiring this car felt in that environment.
That is a nice car. The 3.5 liter 6, I think that one was the M30, was some kind of engine. Rated as one of the best in the 20th century. I haven't driven that 7 series but I like the looks of it and I drove two E34, early 90s 5 series with that engine.

My favorite, no surprise, is the E30. Had two of the 325i variant, both '87. Still have one but it needs a CAT welded in.
