Looking for a ride in an M3

[backman_66]

I know this is a long shot, but I'm looking to find someone to give me a ride in their M3 (preferably E90) because I'm going to be in the market for one possibly. I just need to see one and ride in one to know for sure if this is the direction I want to go for my next vehicle.

I live in north-central Arkansas. I'd be willing to drive a couple hours or so to meet someone in Arkansas or Missouri. I'm perfectly fine meeting at a place like a police station for any safety concerns.

Some cities I'd be willing to travel to:

Jonesboro, AR
Little Rock, AR (maybe)
Fayetteville area in NW AR
Springfield, MO
Branson, MO
West Plains, MO

Or anything else in northern Arkansas or southern Missouri. Thanks!

Search for a used one and go test drive it. I prefer using Cargurus.

I am trying to find one nearby but closest to my location thus far is like 300-400mi +

I can see how your location would pose some issues locating one within reasonable proximity. I'm in St. Louis area, so if you're nearby for whatever the reason, I'd be happy to give you a test drive in my E93 M3. BTW, it mostly has bolt-on aftermarket parts (no FI) so the ride will feel be pretty close to stock.

Thank you cloumeM! If I'm up for a road trip, I'll hit you up for sure. I'd sure appreciate it even if I'm looking for a sedan, I'm sure any e9x model will be a good enough test drive to get a feeling for it.

I know the e90 and e92 are more popular and sought after bodies, but the overall driving feel of all three styles should be pretty close to one another. However, the top down driving experience is something I enjoy but do miss out on some popular modification parts due to the convertible design (e.g., race seats needing rollbar for seatbelt use, rear tail light options, etc.).

I'll be out of town here and there this summer so LMK if you decide to come up here. BTW, DM me and I'll send you my contact info.
