I've trailered vehicles to the track before and it was a pain in the ass for me, and I don't want to pay to have the trailer stored off season (5mo.). So I decided to construct a small towable track trailer. Since everything structurally other than the suspension is basically standard 2 series fare, I decided to take a chance and source the Curt 11367 hitch from eTrailer. http://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hitc...leid=201643958. My main concern was whether it would clear the stock exhaust, but there were no issues. And it's almost invisible with the CF diffuser. Total weight is 23 lbs., but I'll put up with the weight penalty for added utility. You're welcome.
DrKev:

A woman around the corner from me in Snyder had an M3 with a hitch, and now has an 1M with a hitch. She uses a Harbor Freight trailer similar to yours to tow her track wheel set to the Glen, etc. for track days.

Do you know her?

Also, which shop do you trust to do your suspension work?
I do, very well. I like The Little Speed Shop in Rochester, or Towne.
