I vote for a sorted E36.

There is nothing about the e36 that is easier to work on than the e46. In fact, they're damn near identical, mechanically.
... having owned/worked on 3 e36 M3s and 2 e46 M3s.
Gutted of comfort/electronics/airbags (I assume that's what you're talking about with the cage), with the same engine and trans, the weight difference between the e36 and e46 is negligible.
