I need help choosing which car to buy.
I am considering:

E46 M3 ~ $16,000
E46 330i ZHP ~ $12,000
E30 318is ~ $6,000
Subaru BRZ ~ $23,000
All Manuals

I am a 21 year old Mechanical Engineering student and a BMW enthusiast. I have been contemplating which car to buy and all have there pros and cons.
E30's are cheap but are high mileage, get good gas mileage and are easy to drive.
E46 M3 is race car, ITB's, LSD, Iron Block, 8,000 redline, and also has folding rear seats.
E46 330i are less expensive, average maintenance cost, and still very good car on the street. I don't want the 330Ci (I already had one).
Subaru BRZ has a cheap interior, non functional rear seat, but it has a LSD and a warranty.


I need input and suggestions on what to do. Also how bad is the maintenance cost on E46 M3's and E30 318is?
Thanks
