I would say it all depends on what you are looking for in the car. Would you like a nice V8 burble (muscle car feel but with excellent handling) (e92), a screaming I6 with a nice tinny sound and precision cornering (e46) or a no nonsense raw powered handling track attacker (e36).
What would you like the car to do in future? I see you would like a weekender. Is that weekend Sunday drives? Track? Further mods? etc.
Luckily the e46 offers the raw "trackiness" of the e36 with the "never go out of style" looks of a modern car.
