Yes mate, I'm new here. I drive my 2001 M3 in Hong Kong. Would like to tune my car following the path of CSL as close as possible (even I know it's almost impossible).

I start trimming weight and just learnt that even replacing a Braille battery cause huge impact on the corner weight balance.

So I'd like to get the baseline of CSL and trimming weight bit by bit and then complete the setup with a set of coilover with adjustment.

Greeting to you guys.

All I have is here failed... my battery was OEM weight one too, suspension is Intrax.
Car is stripped of rear seats and all carpets, but has a roll cage in it and the front seats are out replaced with Recaro Pro Race ones.
Corner weights are at the top, with a total weight of 1405 kgs.

thx guys!

anyone has stock CSL figures?

the CSL is really light! it seems hopeless for me now.

my M3 weight 1558kg even with Rays CE28N wheels, Braille B3121 battery, Bilstein B12 and Brembo 355 Front.

anyway, i'll try to get L/R and cross % roughly 50/50; F/R within 51/49.

God that seems heavy. Have you got light seats and carbon roof and carbon front bumper and run glass and CF interior panels and no sound insulation?

Mine weighs 1492kg with half a tank of fuel, me as driver and a very light passenger at 30kg.

Allowed for the 30kg passenger when setting intrax up.
