As for why not a "normal" 330? Partly because those, too, are hard to find, and partly because if I'm going to buy a car and spend money and time maintaining it, I might as well get something sort of interesting. But a normal E46 is likely also a lot cheaper, so that's not off the table. It's just that there are two specific cars I've got my eye on right now, one of which is a 230 and the other is a ZHP, so I was curious if anyone had driven both recently.
Oh. I missed this. New driver? Newer is better, isn’t it? Just a better made chassis for impacts.

Given that 90-95% of drivers will be in an accident or two before the age of 21. Or is it 25? Whichever.
