Obviously my favorite was the e30 M3, but the 318ti sport was a very close second place. The ti offers the same rawness and feedback as the e30 M3 minus the hp. I highly suggest finding a well maintained 318ti and test driving it before you make your decision. They're quirky little cars, fun to wrench on and fun to drive. You can always upgrade the front suspension to M3 suspension if you feel the need, especially since you'd likely be installing aftermarket struts and springs anyway. Best wishes!
