To me, once a car gets to a certain age, the value isn't in the performance but the nostalgia value. The e30 M3 fits nicely in that category. For me, however, I never really liked the e30 M3---it was new when I was a kid. It looked great, but I was never impressed with the acceleration values and thus just kept drooling over 911s. To some degree, that impression has stuck with me. I wouldn't spend that kind of money on a car that I wouldn't enjoy all that much from behind the wheel. In this comparo, I'd go with the 1M. But I'm also not the biggest 1M fan either--though I like it more than the 1g M3.
In reality, I'd just keep driving my e92M. It's the best mixture of the power/performance I'm looking for and the specialness (IMO) of the e30M. Alternatively, I'd potentially be interested in a Z4 M coupe.
