Been looking at the possibility of a black one myself:whistle:

Hi,

That LHD one if its not been
fighting, looks like quite a good
buy.

Std LHD CSL quicker than a std RHD one.

The Gorilla.

[outnumbered]

LHD one has Magnesium wheels as well. Bargain !

Really, hows that work?

[DuncanR]

Really, hows that work?The Germans made it work ! All the RHD are just a compromise of the real deal ... the true design with regards weight distribution etc., (and a load of other stuff that Gorilla will be able to expand upon) will be for a LHD ..... I think ? :smt102

[The Gorilla]

Hi,

Toplad- The E46 M3 was designed as
a LHD car hence the exhaust manifold is
bastardised for the RHD steering
linkage, about 3-4 BHP less.

Then the S54 L6 engine is inclined
to the right,and thus the weight distribution
with driver only, is much better in
a LHD car than a RHD car.

** DuncanR beat me to it.

The Gorilla.

Will the rhd cars be better at going round rhd bends - ie clockwise tracks?

[7.77]

french csl never make 360 hp on roller, just about 345/350 hp, and they are lhd.:smt102

mine was checked @ 361 hp, and the airbox sound isn't the same as french ones. don't know why, perhaps she has kept her english accent.

and mine is quicker than french ones, why ?? maybe cause i turn harder on right corner than left corner thanks to the "bad" weight distribution :hahaha:

i will keep my old csl !!:smt055

Like I said ! :hahaha::hahaha::hahaha:

:hahaha::hahaha: Hang on ! ..when I said " Like I said" .. I wasnt being smug as in "Like I said" ... when I said ..."Like I said" ... I was actually referring to my comment that said "...and a load of other stuff that Gorilla will be able to expand upon...) and sure enough, along he came and duly expanded upon it ..... "like I said ... he would " ..... my head hurts ..:banghead:

I can see the logic and good info but in the real World that's no difference at all. On a racecar maybe but as a road and occasional track car (well set up) that would count for 1% of naff all.

Duncan, stop being so sensible. I can't get used to it.;)

UK ones don't make 360bhp either ;)

Mmm, interesting

Id be surprised if it made any difference to a light weight like me:thumbs:

''I can see the logic and good info but in the real World that's no difference at all. On a racecar maybe but as a road and occasional track car (well set up) that would count for 1% of naff all.''

You notice the difference more than would imagine
even on a road car.

Just the same as you notice the difference in
steering feel from the std E46 M3 v CSL,
yet the actual difference is nominal.

Swiss CSL makes 370hp stock :whistle:
Ah, and it's LHD so it has the optimal weight distribution :thumbs:

Wats your excuse for being so slow then Alex ;)

Your a bad man Shane.:hahaha:

Bet he's not as slow as me. I've got a RHD old shitter with maybe 350bhp at a stretch.:bigcry:

He set himself up so well though Alex,

Im just good at chess:hahaha:

Hi,

''I've got a RHD old shitter with maybe 350bhp at a stretch.''

''350 bhp'' must be typo, you hit the number
5 key instead of 4 by mistake me thinks.

Its a CSL thing, nothing personal.
