I think you get my point.
I am not saying the 1M is a bad car, quite the contrary.
But it's not what the ///Marketing division is trying to promote that it is.
And in no way it can beat the CSL which is already 8 years old.
Also Andre seems to be a good driver and it's also his profession // driving cars.
But it seems that he is not that fast @ the Ring with the 1M.
The M3 CSL owner is slow (for whatever reason right... maybe he was on the phone with his Mrs, we don't know).
Throwing statements like ". I really doubt the 7.50 CSL ring time the 1M is pretty close already there no 25 sec difference. Mount some pilot sport cups on the 1M and there is not much in it." are a bit silly in such a uncontrolled comparison.
Love to all of you  |
i'm with CSL crowd here, Alex.
After all, i drive E46 M3 which was once, a CSL with no CSL vin.
All this 1M talk - it's the new car 'feeling' what i call. Hyper excited, not seeing the true picture.
1M is a brilliant car but not on par with CSL on Nordschleife. Never.
It did manage a better time on Bedford though, which is a technical track but the big torque and e92 M3 suspension played its part.
