Curt's M3 is uber-sweet. I looked for an M3 a few years back, unfortunately most of the ones you'll find are not like Curt's!

The biggest problem, as a whole, with the E30 M3 is that they are just getting old. As used cars, the prices of these were not super expensive (they've sold for between $8K and $15K for a long time). So a lot of them have passed through the hands of people who didn't have a lot of $$$ for maintenance, and drove the crap out of them. Even ones that have been reasonably maintained have not been *fully* maintained, things like suspension bushings, little non-essential things that stop working, etc. all add up.

A lot of the ones I looked at had really rattley valvetrains. Engine at idle sounded like a bucket of bolts. Not sure what was up with that.

"Upgrading" to a six, ugh. Fortunately, that's not all that common.

I never could find a decent one, and gave up!
