If the E90 M3 replacement must be a V8 manual, I can’t think of any other new cars besides the Blackwing. I had an E90 M3 manual for 10 years and DIY’ed most of the maintenance you mention (rod bearings, valve covers) and some upgrades like subframe bushings, springs, shocks, exhaust, intake, swaybars, brake lines, front BBK, etc.). Bought a flywheel and clutch but sold the car before I needed to install them.
I wanted a newer, more comfortable and larger, faster, AWD car and bought an F90 M5. I don’t track it, but am aware of a very small number of owners who do. No manual for the F90 M5, but the F10 M5 had the option if you want to split the difference between new and 15 years old.
