I think that you must be wise, so you should put the brain first and the heart after.

First where do you use it? Do you go skying? maybe you need an AWD.

If M3 is your choice, you must open your eyes pretty well, some are abused.

If I will be in your shoes, I will pick something that is maintained, with low mileage and that was taking care of.
I will buy a wonderful 335, or a nice 135 instead of a beat up M3. Also the maintenance costs must be taken in consideration, you don't buy a new car right? M3 parts are more expensive, gas consumption is also different. Since you have a budget for monthly payment I assume that you have also a budget for maintenance.
Don't forget, buying a used car is like lottery, so be prepared.

If you don't need to much space and want a fun car for the money 135 will do just nice.
The fast car terminology depends on the driver too, you can be quick if you know how to drive a car.

Now, I know you want to buy a bimmer but there are some cool cars that may be taken in consideration as well; like Ford ST for example.

Anyway, whatever you choose, do it wisely.
Good luck!
