For $20K I would rather have a clean 996.1 Vs a E46 M3. Dynamically, the 996 will destroy the M3 in every performance attribute. I love the E46 M3, it is an amazing car. However, from a toy perspective, imho, the 996 is the best bang for you buck performance car.

IMS bearing issues are overblown. Only 10% of cars had the issue. If it hasn't gone by now, you are fine......
