M4 is about twice as fast as CSL.

Not driven a M4 but had use of the new M3 for a week and the use of it last Thursday.

Great car, kills the CSL for speed, the handling in the Wet is insane, soooooooo much grip. Done 800 miles in them, all in the rain

I would go as far as this would be CSL time at the ring on Pilot Sports, put it on cups and it would be off.

Officially the M4 was two seconds off the CSL at 7m52 vs 7m50 but yeah on cups it'd monster it, probably low 7m40's.

They are both very fast, but one's got a stonking great carbon air-box that makes incredible noises, the other one hasn't.

(there's an Evo article on the CSL Airbox by the way)

What issue is that?

[still no worries]

11 years newer

you would think bmw would have made it faster by now !

It's on (in ?) the app right now and presumably will be in the next print edition in the 'Art of Speed' section, back page.



"When the M3 CSL hit the streets there were gasps. Here was a hardcore statement of intent.....with 355bhp courtesy of an outrageously in-yer-face fist of a carbon fibre airbox....extending the engine's aerobic reach to new heights.....few engines from anywhere have ever sounded better."

"It's a sound that seductively asserts that the E46 CSL remains the most focused, hardcore M3 of the lot."

etc etc :thumbs:

They'll be growing on me too when the low-deposit, £500/month, 0%, 5yrs Free servicing deals kick off. Until then... the new C63s gets my tail wagging!
