Hello, i was just wondering how much weight did the csl actually lose? Was it 180kg, 160kg or 110kg? Different results over google.
cheers guys.

Depends on whether it has xenons/aircon etc to some extent. A fully specced CSL compared to a poverty spec manual E46 M3 wouldn't be much more than 100kg less I'd have thought. UK M3s had a fairly high spec from the factory (electric leather seats etc), so would probably do worse by comparison than in other markets.

Ahh I suppose never thought about that. cheers mate good to know I suppose!

My E46 M3 with quite a loaded spec was 1595kg's.

When standard my CSL with A/C, business radio/CD, Xenons, was 1425kg's, same fuel loads.

Both weighed on the same geometry scales.

I thought Clarkson said it was either 140 or 160 kg weight loss.

Depends whether he included the 'cardboard boot floor' or not...

It depends on how many fat birds in the passenger seats.

170kg, thats quite a lot. The weight of a typical Mexican?
