Define fast? If you want speed, a 135/335i would actually be cheaper to buy and maintain and give you a greater impression of acceleration (push you in your seat) than an M3 because of the turbo and torque. M3 is about handling more than speed. I have a 70K mile M3 and used to own an E39 M5, both had expensive maintenance bills, even when doing the jobs yourself.
