Depends what type of car you are looking for. The C55 will blow the E36 M3 away in straight line performance, luxury, etc. Haven't driven a C55 yet, but hear they handle pretty well compared to the C32. But the two cars are tottally different beasts alltogether.
Personally I'd get the C55. I came from the BMW world, but just traded up to a C32 recently.

I came from bmw 328ci, It was the third bmw i owned. I changed to the dark side with a blk c55, no complains yet, except I wish my saleperson would have explain the options better. (he kinda cheated me out of bi-xenon)
Even though I forget all about it when I listen to that v8 purr.

I've got an E36 325 with an OBD1 3.2l engine and RMS stage 2 supercharger, and it doesnt compare to the C32. It has more power and will probably pull the C32 on the freeway. But the power delivery on the C is so much better.
Get the C55, you wont regret it if its everything Ive heard it is

maybe it'd be ok if it happen to a few, but I'd see a number of 3-series owners on the road driving w/ a black piece of rubber dangling from their roofline man, I'd either get that fix ASAP or at least pull it off and hide it!!!! 
EMBARASSING!!!! :p
