This is pretty awesome, TrojanMan needs to do this.

Haha I get the thread but thats the beauty of the m3. Fun at the track with space in the boot to get your there

It's a 35' Appalachian open trailer that I bought used from a transport company. It's nothing fancy, but it tows great. The truck is a GMC 2500hd diesel, which can tow a house. At 75mph I'm getting 13.5mpg.

Thanks. That's awesome. I think I'd be a little freaked out about driving something that long and then finding some place to park it at night before thre track opens.

It's not a bad as you would think. Every place we go has great parking. I have parked it at plenty of restaurants and hotels.

Sebringjetta · 02-20-2014, 03:29 PM

heres mine...no tow hitches on the m3

I think I see one of your neighbors in the window either letting you know you are #1, or suggesting it is time for a prostate exam. The image is a bit fuzzy!

Jaypod · 02-20-2014, 03:51 PM

I have seen another GT3 towing a tire trailer etc before. I think it hooks to the rear tow hook point behind the rear plate.

Even seen Miata's doing the same.

I have a 20' Enclosed trailer, and the Range Rover Sport has no issues towing it. The M3 or the Aston may have some trouble though

would love to have a double trailer...how many times do we go to the track with friends...following each other to the track....would be easier to split fuel and ride in 1 truck...

Don't show my wife that. She already wants to know why I cannot tow two cars to the track.

Who makes a better (two wheel) one?

I'm think about going this route.

X5d and a BRE Aerovault trailer. Serious piece of kit that you can park in your garage (if it's a long enough garage). Super easy to tow and very aerodynamic. Made in USA (Henderson, NV now).

pkimM3r · 02-21-2014, 01:18 AM

Umm... I'll pass.

Anyhow, 4 track tires, toolbox, etc, fit in E92/90.

I 2nd and I have a cage.

Getting a trailer and pickup is a whole nutha level!...... And I do wish I could afford it, but I can't so in the back all my sh8t goes.

PrimeBMW · 02-22-2014, 10:15 AM

We have a very nice Featherlite enclosed trailer.....winch and cabinets. It was a hand me down from a track buddy that just needed an enclosed TPD. That is an extremely nice trailer! The first day he asked if I wanted an espresso.........I though he was joking. No he wasn't. Nice cabinets with an area for a laptop and espresso machine!
