OP: If you are buying used, then you should establish a price range and find the best car that you can for that price. The best value will be the M235, followed by the M240. One issue with true M cars is that they are more likely to have significant wear, especially of expensive parts, because they are marketed to people who drive hard. A couple of days on a track will do a real number on brakes, for example. They can easily be replaced, but at a high cost.
Others have noted the comfort factor. True M cars have a very stiff suspension. Some, especially the very young, don't mind a stiff ride. In terms of wow, though, they are way ahead. These cars will always turn heads, even as they age. I can't say that for myself.
