IMO, the older 5 series are ugly compared to an E36 3 series or a '97 and newer 5 series. I guess it depends on if you need to spend, under 2k or under 5k. From my own experience with my E36 325i, I can vouch that the in-line BMW sixes are capable of putting on lots of miles and mine still feels relatively tight and reliable for a 270,000 mile car. If you are the DIY type and you choose the car wisely, I think you will be happy with either, from a drivability/reliability standpoint.
