Last night the brown truck delivered 118s new track shoes from the Tire Rack.
They are a set of four 17x8.5 Kosei K1 wheels shod with 245/40 Kuhmo MX tires. Since these are dedicated track wheels I also got a set of "Wheel Totes" to carry them back and forth to the track without getting brake dust everywhere.
Note the cool E36 M3 BFG banner. It only took 10 years to get a car to match my banner.

Done deal
The deal is done and I have a new track car called "118". I drove it all the way back from St Louis. Woo Hoo!
This is the 118th US spec M3 made. It was produced in March of 1994.
As with all older cars, it needs a couple of things. First is a new drivers window motor -- it failed as I was picking up the car. The second is a set of proper tires. Some moron installed 215/45-17 on the 7.5 and 8.5 in wheels. It should have either 235/45 (as it came from the factory) or 225/45 front and 245/40 rears.
