...buying an e46 m3. it's always been my dream car and i want to make it happen!

i want to start doing some research before i make a decision.

i want a manual transmission e46.
what year would you recommend and why? what is the difference between the years? are there different classes of m3s like some other cars (350z has touring, racing, etc. g35 has sports and non-sport).

any help to get me started is greatly appreciated!
