I'm fortunate enough that I still have an E92 M3 to play with. Also added an E36 M3 just to try them out, and the M2 will most likely replace it. Personally, this is going to be my first ever car I custom order. I'll wait as long as I need to and not compromise on anything.

How about buying something like an E36 or E46 M3 to wait. The market has more or less finished bottoming out already (assuming you are OK with maintenance). I fully plan on driving my E36 for 2 years, and selling it for what I paid for it. Clean ones are hard to find, and the coupes with nicer colors always go for a premium too.
