I think it might be at that awkward stage where it's not old enough to truly feel "classic", but it's old enough to have the foibles of any older used car. The one I drove was a pretty nice example with only about 60k IIRC. I do love the looks of them though.
Pretty sure the M5 I drove back in the day was the E34, the one thing I remember most was how heavy the clutch pedal was and at the time when I drove it, it was a fairly new car.
