Looking at the IS500 or M3. Haven't decided yet.
I say M3. The IS500 is equivalent to my wife's M340i (baby M3) and though it's a great car, its no M3. We test drove both the IS500 and M340i, bought the M340i because of the interior was much more modern than the IS500.

Shortly after buying the M340i, we found out we're having a kid. Once she's done with maternity leave, we hope to pick up an X3M Comp.

Nice, yea i'm leaning more M3, IS500 seemed different since i dont' see many around my area but I still have two kids in front facing seats so need some space. The truck has been great from that aspect, but parking in the city and commuting isn't the greatest.

You should seriously consider the X3M. A little bit more space than M3, same engine (S58, which is a beautiful engine and masterpiece), AWD and easy around town. Stay away from the V8s (X5M is nice, but that engine is trash), BMW hasn't learned how to make a reliable one yet.

If you're shopping at a dealership, let me know which one. The company I work for manufactures a lot of tools for BMW North America so I know a few guys at each dealerships across the country. They're in service but they usually can put me in contact with someone from sales.

M3 for sure. I traded my G80 6MT in for the Raptor recently. While I really enjoyed the M3, it just felt too sterile even with the manual. I think BMW lost that ‘magic’ with their M cars. Everything is an M car just like every Merc is an AMG. To each his own, and I wish you luck finding the right one. That said, the M3 makes the IS500 seem boring so can’t go wrong with an M3 when comparing the two. Just my $0.02.
