Oof, careful now, you'll start a riot on a BMW forum.
Personally, I think the E39 is one of the best designed BMW's (visually) inside and out.
All I will say is, I've driven my E92 M3 back to back with an E39 M5 and I will always pick the S65 over the S62, but that's completely personal preference. I think a 530i 5MT would make an absolutely wonderful daily though.
So no, I don't think they're overrated, but I also would pay the silly prices the E39 M5's are going for as there are other cars I'd prefer in that price range.
