F80 m3

Is it confirmed that there will be a CSL version? If so, I would be inclined to stick an order in straight away and worry later about how to pay for it. Based on the spec and the looks, I'm already in love.

I'm on your side Mike:thumbs:

I agree, but what it the does to the speed of the car is phenomenal - just look at the Japanese CSL that Digi posted up clips of - it has just done a a 58s lap of Tsubuka (a short 1.2 mile circuit) - albeit with changing from the SMG to a Quaife sequential 'box (and stripping every single thing out of the car and adding loads of aero - similar to what Schirmer does to their cars ). To put that into perspective, a standard CSL does 1:06 :smt103

The point I was making is that when you do such drastic mods to a car, it is not unexpected for them to be faster than the full weight cars that the manufacturers can produce.

1.25bar max boost pressure is very conservative...
It should be quite easy to get it to 480bhp.

The interior is also very nice.

Hi,

It would seem that there going to run
the Twin Turbo's at different speeds
so as to combat any lag.

Over the years many have learnt that
if you run as large a Turbo/s as possible
at really low pressure then you can
almost do away with lag so long as
the Turbo spindles and oiling are up
to it, and with revearse pattern Cams
on a Turbo Engine filling up the
cylinders you should get a fairly
quick responsive engine, even though it
has dual huffers.

Would much rather the CSL version if there
is one is sent to Weight Watchers for the
shedding of another 150 Kgs, and the S55
twin huffer engine is tossed out and a S65 engine
with a Flat Plane Crank, C/R upped to 12.5,
electric steering pump, lighter Flywheel,
was slid in its place with circa
a genuine 430/440 bhp from the std 72.5mm stroke.

All these under square engines, being designed
to grunt is not the way to build 'fun' sports cars.

Regards,

The Gorilla.

I think the M3 saloon looks 'sportier' than the M4 coupe; I love the purposeful rear wheel arches on the M3 :thumbs:

And with a remap 480bhp to 500bhp is not going to be far away and lets not forget about the weight of the car, what a package, if they bring a CSL out 450bhp less weight its going to be a great car :smokin:

The M2, looks like this is going to be a great car to

The more I look at the M3/M4 the more I like it....Impressive figures as well....and over 30 mpg........Must say I think I agree I prefer the M3...:thumbs:

The blue for me with silverstone leather I think.
