besides, if you get an M3, you won't want to track it once you start pushing the envelope. If you develop the kind of attachment to it that I have for my supra, tracking it will last a whole 2-4 events and suddenly you'll be making payments and looking for something that you can put into a wall and walk away from without worry. If you really want to get into it with no real strain here are my recommendations.
-cheap
-common
-underpowered
-easy to maintain
-most importantly, something that you won't get so attached to (read: not your dream car) and can allow yourself to wreck without any major hardship or heartache.
Just my thoughts. I tracked the supra at first. I love that car too much to wreck it and it has more power than I wanted when I first start on track. I cut my power in half, got a lighter chassis and beat the hell out of my 240. I maintained it and modified it, but it has been great to me and a ton of fun and hasn't really cost a lot. Even now I still am afraid to track the supra.
