s2000 would be a cool car to own for awhile. Depends how practical you need a car though.
Or get a Mcoupe! The clutch isnt that easy to learn on by you can learn

also, are you still keeping your CLS as a daily driver?
If so then a bmw E30 could be fun to toss around and has minor maintance if needed. Should be able to get one for under 5k and then you can use 2k for some goodies!

Haven't done much other than put a chip in, but it's a great toy- highly recommended.

E30 are good cars to learn stick on. Thats where I learned, on my dads 325is. If you get an E30, try an get a later one, like 90-91 as they have the nicer bumpers and a driver side airbag.
Our E30 is great, its as reliable as the rest of the cars in our family and its over 3-4 times as old. Plus, slap on a good suspension and tires and they stick to the road. We can take off ramps without even slowing down. E36s are a little nicer, but more money. They have a lot more mods though, not to say that its slim pickins for E30 mods.

Many people with later M3s switch to the OBD1 system as its less restrictive and allows for greater potential from mods.
