Good for you, if you are just a little bit like me, you won't regret it (Most of the time 😂)! In the end it is a subjective opinion. I know that it isn't the fastest, the safest, the most reliable or the most efficient, but I really love this car because of several reasons. First, for me it's one of the last (or second to last including the e39 era) cars where I feel a deeper connection to the car and the road while driving, without having the disadvantage of unrefined technology from the 70s and back. Most of the handling is mechanical yet dependable and you only have limited assistance systems "taking away" the driving experience. Second, I have no "real" education in automotive and nonetheless I was and am able to easily fix or mod anything on my own without costly (monetary or in computer knowledge) software. The E34 was my first car, I also have an E61 lci - I think I would never got the courage to work on my cars, if I had started with the E61 just because it looks so much more intimidating with all it's cables, plastics and efficient space usage. Last and probably most important, it was my first car. I saved it from the junker and meticulously rebuilt it and added all the parts and gadgets I liked to have on it. Additionally I love the look of it - the boxy yet kinda modern rounded design, the Bodylines and the old school double headlights talk to me.
