Then you don't really have to worry about wrecking it either.

thats my plan hope to get one that has been prepared at bit, if i can get one with bbk and suspension upgrade will leave mine on the csl

You sound like you belong on the "cutters" forum

.

CSLs are designed for the track - pointless having one just as a garage queen

.

At the last BMW car club track day at Snetterton, they had E36 / E46 M3 full on race-cars with slicks. The CSL scalped them all

That says more about those specific cars and drivers than it does about anything else

Yeah like Nathan said, I can comfortably stay with some CSL's, most are a good battle, get the odd few like Shimmy, 83SY that are just silly quick

I agree with Derek well sorted M3 you will be as capable for a lot less money and not worried about denting it. 2nd hand market is ridiculously busy for them right now

Ah, the old CSL Register double standards

. When a "Cutter" insinuates that a stripped out standard M3 is as good as CSL they get ripped to shreds, but when a CSL Register member says the same, it is suddenly true

. Does not compute

.

It all depends dunnit ?

Standard M3 with stripped interior, BBK and uprated suspension is going to be better on track than a stock CSL.

Mod both cars to the same level, and the CSL will be better because it has more power and less weight to start with.

And taking the piss out of Cutters is just part of the job description of any CSL owner

No double standards. Cutters are wrong, we (CSLR members) are right. Any subject, any statement. Easy

I wouldn't modify a CSL now, they are good enough out of the box on the track and worth more as standard.

If you really need to go faster on a track and not worry about the ever increasing value of a CSL, M3's are cheap enough to buy and modify.

Would never sell the CSL though.

**shimmy** · 03-04-2014, 09:01 PM

Gayers.....it's just a car. I'd sell mine tomorrow of needed to. Luckily I've got three kids I can sell first before CSL has to go.

Someone who understands what a csl is all about. And you thought he was mad having three kids.
