I would expect the 535 to be the best because of the M30 engine which just keeps going with minimal fuss. The 540s may have a nikasil problem and the V8s are not as friendly anyway. Sure they are great when they work but much more of a risk...

Apart from the M5's, the 540i Sport with 6 speed
manual.
518i was a better car than the 520i really, much nicer
to drive around town and much better fuel economy.
Worst E34 - 12v Automatic 520i. I could fart faster.

I have had an 89 520,a 96 525se (auto) & currently a 525 sport.
The sport is head & shoulders above the others,the ride is not as smooth as the se but it handles ludicrously well & has instant power.
Cant comment on any others as I havent owned them.

I'm going to say 525i SE Estate coz I have one!!!
Looks good (for an estate) goes very well, does semi-ok mpg and is a
hoot to drive, easy to work on etc. etc. Although, if fuel prices
dropped and I had the cash a late 540i Estate in black, silver or blue
would be on the drive.
