2nd car...need suggestions!

So I'm looking for a 2nd car. I've been driving an mkv GTI and it's been fun, but I feel like I need something a bit more "grown up". Basically what I'm looking for is a used, comfortable car that can be driven as a daily, yet is sporty and powerful at the same time. I'm pretty much set on getting a German car because I'm a fanboy like that, unless you can convince me otherwise (which is highly unlikely). Here's my list so far:

BMW
E46 330i ZHP
E36 M3

MB
C32 AMG
C36 AMG
C43 AMG
E55 AMG (W210)
CLK430 (W208)

Now I don't exactly know the prices of all these cars, but this is a list of what I would LIKE. My budget is around $10k, give or take a couple g's, depending on what I'm buying. I know I can't get alot of these cars in awesome condition for $10k. So anyone with suggestions on anything I listed or your own, feel free to share.

So is this gona be a weekend cruiser or you only car?

Assuming you'd have 2

I'd look for an E30 M3 , Way better looking IMO. Should be easier to get one you like for under 10k, just a matter of finding one.

don't know about you but where I live, you won't be finding a good E30 M3 for anything near $10,000.
E36's on the other hand are dirt cheap and plentiful although a E46 330 is easily just as good and comes without the possible engine issues that seem common with the older cars unless you find and bag an Evo or a GT model.
