My take is if part of the reason you're buying the car is to have an economical alternative to the M3, then I'd avoid anything that has a history of maintenance issues. One big repair will easily kill any cost savings you might've had. Get something simple and roll with it for awhile. If you get tired of it, you can always sell it and still not be losing too much money.
If you want something German and interesting you've already got the M3, no need for two cars like that. However, maybe the answer for you is to sell the M3 and get the one car that will satisfy all of your automotive urges.
