What should I get now?

So I'm sorry to say(not really) that I have officially got rid of my troubled 2013 Scion Fr-s. I liked the car and how it looked, how it drove, the feel while sitting inside, almost everything about it. I just really didn't want to deal with all the issues it had, more then half the serious problems everyone talks about on this forum, unfortunately I had. So I sold it. Now a new dilemma, what should I get next? I have some money to spend and want a really nice/fast manual sports car? Any input, chime in...

This. E90/92 M3. I'd trade out of my BRZ and RS 6 for this. Add an Active Autowerke supercharger and exhaust, a nice set of wheels, and call it a day.

Honda S2000. Or better yet another FR-S/BRZ which isn't a lemon!
