Hello all

Picked myself up a cracking 318 track beast for a great price. Needs some wheels though and I dont want a spend a fortune on tyres that are going to get mashed quite regularly. Any thoughts on good track focussed tyres around or less than 100 a corner? Also - any tips on where to pick up a cheap trailer? Got the car for under 1k so don't want to end up paying more for something to tow it on. All advice much appreciated

As I mentioned - its a track ready car - bought from an enthusiast.

It's an E36 318i - stripped out and fitted with:

New Meyle front struts
New rear ‘short’ shocks
Eibach front lowering springs (30mm)
H&R rear lowering springs (40mm)
Poly front antiroll bar bushes
Rear strut brace
Dimpled/grooved front discs
Ferodo DS300 front pads
DOT 4 brake fluid
Gear shift indicator light
New reclining/sliding bucket seats
TRS 4 point harnesses
Sachs clutch
New gear selector bearings
M3 boot spoiler
M3 17” alloys

For £750 it's an absolute bargain. Just need to get some fresh rubber on. Good point on the tracking though.
