IMHO, the most weekend fun you can have for $50k is a slightly used Superformance 427 Cobra with a Roush 427 small block built to around 550hp. I know its not on your original list, but it will be incredibly fast, unbelievably fun and surprisingly reliable and easy to fix. Most mechanical parts are cheap and you can do much of the maintenance on it yourself if you like.

^^ this is a great suggestion. From your list, if you don't need AWD, get the M3. Otherwise I'd probably go for the 11 S4. The RS4 will have very high repair costs down the line.
