Straight line speed vs E46 M3

[sonu]

Hello,

my first post, so please be gentle.

In a straight line, would a standard E46 M3 be as fast as a CSL up to ~ 100mph?

Hi Sonu, welcome to the forum, i've had both cars and have driven them back to back same day, the CSL is a HUGE improvement over the normal M3, not just in straight line but in every way! :smokin: :thumbs:

No. :supz:

Welcome to the Forum, what you piloting at the moment?

Welcome!

The E46 M3 and the CSL share the same E46 shell- And that is where
it ends. Think more UK touring car with nice seats and BMW badge! :thumbs:

Most probably - a gnats nadger's difference at most perhaps.

Welcome to the forum btw - beware of Shimmy and his 'Mantrain' fascination :bigcry:

So there's one sensible post in this thread :hahaha:

Come on folks even the most hardcore of CSL fanboys (of which I am one even though it's gone) can't seriously claim it's much faster in a straight line upto ~100mph. If you did a side by side there would be next to nothing in it.

just the difference 15bhp and around 100kg makes assuming the flap[s working and your tyres are ok - so very little as Rob and Elliott say:smokin:

My answer was sensible :bigcry:

But it all seriousness, it wouldn't be far off it all. The CSL would be more of 'an experience' with the Induction noise and lack of sound proofing solutions, it's a fantastic place to be when giving it rice :smt055
