The US MSRP for the base 2017 F80 was $64K and $71K for the Competition model. Unlike the Germans, the IS historically came pretty well loaded, so add a few options or packages and you're easily over $70K for the base and pushing $80K or above for the Competition. Assuming you don't have a base model with no options, you must have gotten a good discount at $62K for your 2017 M3.

I understand you have a budget, but if the 2022 IS500 with base price of $56K is too much, then I guess so are its competitors like the 2022 M340 is out of range too, and you have to go down market.
