It was a few years ago now, but Park Shore in Vancouver had no problem letting me test drive an E46 M3 convertible. Would probably have been in 2004, when these cars were still ultra-desirable. I wasn't even particularly serious about buying, but the sales guy had no problem with it at all.

I just stepped out of a $120K Porsche and I can't test drive a $70K M3? What's up with that? I bought my 335 from him last year and he let me go alone with my wife on the test drive.
For those M3 owners, did you have a test drive? To not drive a car before buying seems absurd to me, no matter what its pedigree....
