No M3 for Demo/display in the Boston area
I find it very interesting, I have called and visit about 10 BMW dealers so far, each one has 1 or 2 M4s in stock or ready to be delivered, but 0 M3s.
One sales person told me that M3s are rare and when they come they go on the same day. I guess that is a good thing to those who own one, but is a bad thing for those who wants to have an idea how the car looks.

BMWAG probably assumed that the coupe would be in more demand during the first year of the new model. I test drove an M4 for assessment of driving performance prior to acquiring my M3, simply because the F80 had not been released (37th week of 2014). The F80 was a no brainer for me...same performance, great looks, and practical with four doors and a usable trunk (that's what I told the wife to convince her it was a reasonable acquisition). Good luck...wish I could be more helpful.

Op fly over here in Seattle, my good friend has one and since I don't have mine, he shows up every night at my door to laugh at me.
Ss is a beautiful color on an m3.

Perhaps you can go to a local meet to see another person's M3. I would think taking an M4 for a test drive would give you a pretty good idea of driving an M3. Not exactly the same, but I think it would be pretty similar. So combined with seeing someone else's, that should give you a good idea about whether or not to order one.

If I'm not mistaken coupes outsold sedans by a pretty wide margin in previous generations as well, when it was just M3 coupe / M3 sedan instead of M3 / M4.

According to Cars.com, Herb CHambers Boston has two M3's and Shrewsbury has one. You are welcome to see my SO M3 when it arrives in about 2 weeks.

So wait, you've already ordered it, and NOW you're looking to touch and feel one?
BACK ASSWARDS!! Which i love, good man. I have only seen 1 other M3 in Boston besides myself, but quite a few M4's pop up, most in Mineral Grey. You're more than welcome to come check out my 2016 if you'd like, but it's Mineral White, not MG.

I work in Boston and live in Hingham, I'd be happy to take you for a ride in mine anytime.
The White was a must for me. I almost ordered Blue, but didn't want the wait. I'm beyond thrilled with the color combo of White and Sakhir Orange. Shoot me a message and you can come for a ride and touch/feel as much as you'd like.
