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) |

![]() 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 ![]() Last edited by 0836whimper; 17-11-2014 at 04:55 PM. |

I test drove one during BMW M Experience here in Istanbul at Istanbul Park F1 Circuit. Having attended many track days with my CSL there I was able to compare turn speeds, handling etc.
I could safely say except for the noise department the new M4 excels in every possible way. Lag was almost non-existent, handling was perfect, brakes were excellent (ceramics) and power was immense. It is a great car and a fitting M car. I think BMW cracks this M3 thing in every two generations. E30, E46 and F80 are the best of all, the others are just in-between models IMO. |

The E92 - more difficult to fall in love with this, weight, size, lack of torque & not really track friendly. A grown up M3 that did not pull at the heart strings. |
