2002 BMW M3 SMG vs 9-3 viggen

My lease on my 2001 Saab 9-5 lpt wagon is nearly up - I've been lusting after a BMW M3 for several months now, and I might just finally take the plunge if the price is right and the planets all align right. Financially, it is definitely going to be more of a drain on me that I would care for, but, at 31 and single for now, I feel a certain carpe diem hedonism. Of course, I might just be more prudent and opt for a used 9-3 viggen, which would cost me less than 1/2 the M3.
Anyways, I would welcome your opinions on this - pros and cons. This would be my primary/only vehicle, and I typically put approx 8000 miles a year I've heard maintenance on the M3 is not exactly a walk-in-the-park. Also, I live near DC, and I'm settling for the fact that Winter driving would be compromised. Also, the SMG transmission supposedly has bugs to be worked out? Any other concerns I've overlooked? Thanks all.
