I hear you brotha!
I went almost the exact same route and ordered a STRIPPED M3 with barely any options at all. Most dealers may not stock an M3 with few options, but I've personally seen some that do. It's best to search around.
I'd recommend that you order your M3 exactly the way you want it. The money you save when you buy from the lot may be very small compared to ordering.
Go for it man!!
