I would go with the M3.... but good luck finding a decent one for under 30K. So i think thats outta the question. Along with the Supra (most likley), 5Series, and Audi TT. Probably some others too. Look around at car prices, you dont seem to understand how much most of those will actually cost you.
If you notice the years of the cars I was interested in, the supras and 5 series will be very easy to find in my range. Maybe finding one in good shape might be difficult, but hey, the fun is in the chase, right?
Here's one completed auction for each of the cars you quoted
You may have to sign-in to eBay.
1995 BMW M3 - $11,800I test drove a 1995 BMW 525i. Sticker price was $9,885.
1995 Toyota Supra - $14,5002000 Audi TT - $10,495The Supra is gonna be hard to find in my price range..I'll admit that...but the other 3 will be easy.

Good luck finding a V6 Bimmer. They have inline six cylinder engines.
Beyond that... is cost of maintenance an issue for you?
An inline 6? Not uncommon at all in the world of BMW. Is this going to make them hard to find? They're everywhere!
I am a college student with no current job, so I'm gonna say yes, maintenance is a big issue for me. That's the only thing keeping me from buying a BMW, I think.
