BTW I'm a self-professed brand-whore, so I'm definitely not going to purchase another rice-rocket. Fixing up rice-rockets (albeit the S2K is a really nice rice-rocket) was just an expensive hobby that I saw ZERO returns from. I'm done with Hondas.
A Lotus Elise.....uh.....nah. That thing looks like a friggin toy.
Again, we are going off topic. I don't care what kind of car people want me to get. This thread was a "WTB: E46 M3"; not "Need Advice on What Car to Get."

For $35k, you're in a little bit of a tough position.
You're not going to find an 04+ M3 for that price. The 02-03 cars were mostly the ones that got recalled... and the recalled cars are proving to be reliable as long as they were treated right. Overall, the cars are not as reliable as S2000s but they are still fairly well made.
Ever thought about getting a new 06 M roadster? They had some amazing lease deals and I suspect there are still some on the lots. Very nice car and the payments work out to be something like $550 a month, which is cheap for a $55k car. Same motor, but about 200lbs lighter.
(but, not available in SMG)
Anyway, if you're set on an M3, I'd try to get a CPO'd car so you have warranty on it.
There is a 2001 Alpine White 6 sp at Weatherford:
M3 Coupe
2001
Manual
76,098
Alpine White
$30,777
Weatherford BMW
Berkeley, CA
36.19
Lots of miles, but it's warrantied through next year or 24k miles.
