Man, you are finicky. If it weren't for our previous discusions, I might mistake you for a 18 year old female primadonna.
Although turbo E36 M3's have been done well, they are hardly considered reliable. It is difficult to get something to run right 100% of the time when the output has more than doubled. Yes, they can run well. But do not expect it to always start or run right and it will happen when people are with you.
If the B5 S4 is out, I would seriously consider a CTS-V. Granted, I am not a huge fan of the design. But an LS6 engine with a blower can make 500 WHP and do it for years. You could pick one up for low $20k range, if not less. And add $6k in the blower and call it a day. Yes, it will drop in price but I suspect in five years you could still move it for $15k if the miles have not stacked up too high. This is also something you could seriously drive hard and is something does break, parts are more readily available and cost effective.
There will always be compromises when you have your goals set. You must decide which needs are greater.
