Scott,
Discount Tire is a huge chain on the west coast, and maybe elsewhere, some stores have the Hunter TC350, and some don't. In Tempe AZ, the store east of I-10 on Elliot has one, and the one near the airpark in north Scottsdale has one. Also TTRS Racing in Mesa AZ has one and only charges $15 to mount/dismount a tire.

I had 2 flats repaired by Goodyear, the only marks on my rims are from that experience, never again.

Sorry this doesn't help you in S Florida, but they are out there.

Do any of you other E36 M3 owners have recomendations on where to get you tires mounted/balanced?
