Don't know much about what they sell for normally, but I think they still have the s52 so the maintenance wouldn't be quite as bad as an e46m.
S52s are dead nuts reliable once you realize its a 17 year old vehicle and you should replace anything rubber/plastic in the cooling system and suspension.
Z3M roadsters have been haunting me lately and might be my next replacement from the C5Z. Some great suggestions here.
I think I would probably even rather have the s52 over the s54 in a small roadster like that. The torqueyness of the s52 combined with the right suspension in a small roadster would be just like a bigger go-kart.
