Welcome!
The engine in the E60 is great fun with the supercharger. I have the E61 Touring so the same under the bonnet.
Just make sure if you do buy one the service history is good and the supercharger is in good condition and/or has been replaced (some will have been multiple times) as it is an expensive job albeit you can now get them rebuilt.
Riding the torque is pretty addictive.
The E39 is also a lovely car, just obviously older so more to check for such as rust and worn bits etc.
Good luck in your search.
