Mark, Gad:

My friends the two brother. One has the CSL the other has a DMS tuned M3 (with CSL wheels).

The CSL is quite a bit faster in a straight line... might be the SMG tho ?

 

Ah they still do the smoking start option as per the E36? Always made me chuckle that feature

Richy, is that right they only make 300? I cant quite see that. Ive been dispatched by one before, and if it had 300, with its increased weight over the S I think it would have been closer. They quote 350 in sports mode IIRC.

Maybe 300-315 at the wheels, that would be right. Also assume its in Sports mode.

Ta crispy. Impressive that the CSL still beats a tweaked M3!

I guess a timed run is the only way to settle it

There's no doubt the CSL feels faster

But 'stripped out' cars do - like convertibles

My opinion is that the extra speed of the CSL is really found in the corners

 

dragging racing down the dual carriage way is the best way to settle it

 

ok

what was the difference then?

 

the CLS is faster by three widgets ... doh
