having owned a B6s wannabe - I would def go for the real thing as maybe the ultimate E30, however the Harge H36 looks pretty mean... M5 engine in M3!!!!

B6S = 260 bhp
H36 = 315 bhp if its based on the regular 3.6 M5 engine.

nothing as exotic as has been mentioned earlier, but I really have a hankering after a Cecotto or Ravaglia M3.
However, they are hard to find - maybe that's why I want one!
