Presumably they wouldn't have put cooling vents for styling but rather function as is homologation special
Wasn't the E92 M3 engine based on the E46 M3 GTR (or was it the E60 M5 V10) ?

Road going GTR only had 380bhp

Look at the weight quoted though, 1350kg

And the CSL and M3 only have 360 and 343 PS respectively (355bhp and 338bhp respectively)
