I haven't heard a single thing about E36's being problematic. And when did they "revamp" it? they changed over fomr a 3.0 to a 3.0 mid-model if I'm not mistaken, but that's not a re-vamp seeing as most of the parts are identical short of the bottom end. I did know a guy who's M3 was ratty as shit but that's a result of him flat out not giving a fuck. I know two guys who coordinate some M3 club in north jersey and they got nothing but good things to say about em - cept for the cost of parts. The thought of paying more money for a turbo kit on an M3 vs. headers, turbos, IC, and ECU work on the 911 is slightly disturbing. Also, the Esprit is a great car, but way outta my price range. I'd have to cash in the 9 to get it and honestly, it wouldn't be worth it to me. I got history with the 911 and even helped build the engine back when it was nothing but a race car with front end damage.

lol, I hear ya about the "fuck comfort" but if I want a car that's pretty but drivability is a little harsh with a heavy-ass clutch I'd just drive the 911 which has about 75% more M3's power than the M3 does.
The S4 is all around looking liek a better move, albeit about 5k more. More what I'm looking for, but if I didn't have the 9 the M3 would have been the clear choice.
Oh, the other cars I'm considering are an Evo, an 03 or 04 Cobra or an SRT-4 if I just want something I can do light mods to and abuse, never feel bad about it, and it'll keep coming back for more without costing neary 90 bucks to fill it's hugemongous gas tank, unlike the 911. the SRT is kinda ugly IMO, but it's liek a butterface chick that you end up falling in love with, so it' the most likely on the list of alternates.
From the looks of it though, the S4 is the one of these two I'll go with. Time to smoke some weed and try to remain standing when the insurance lady runs off the anual rates... Damn, I can't wait to turn 25
