I would say get the M3 of your dreams. You sound like you have lusted after one for a long time. Don't put things off for tomorrow what can be had today. You only live once.

E46 M3 came in a soft top.

Go for it! Life is just so damn much fun when you make your own dreams come true. Just don't compromise for a few bucks in the end, they usually are the ones that will end up haunting you. 65 seems to be the age on this forum where people finally decide to live a little, and I for one can't wait to meet that point in my life.

Also consider the Z4M roadster. Same engine as the E46 M3, and you might be able to find one for a better price.

the e46 m3 convertible is typically cheaper than the coupe/sedan also, so that's convenient.
