The times are the same, but the experience is totally different. He seemed disinterested in the 235 - as if it was something he had to do rather than wanted to do. It didn't get under his skin like the CSL. Nice the see CSLs being quoted at £30-35k, last year it was £25-30k

Nice. Thought he over played the brakes on the csl.
M235 nice daily drive, but csl something special. Not bad for a car coming up to its 11th birthday. |

Well thanks for that, my pension is sorted!
I wonder will they put it up against the M235i 'Racing' when that eventually comes along? Would be interesting to see the comparisons.

Poor Result
I am quite disappointed actually. It is either the turbo tech improved massively over the years or he wasn't pushing the CSL (although it looked like he did)
I mean, if a less powerful (significantly), less track focused, manual shifting, heavier half bred M car can match the hardcore values of the CSL then this is a disaster outcome...

Not sure how the M135 compares to the M235 but at Bedford on Saturday three of us will be running the M135 timed to compare against my cSL times, which will be real world comparison, no back handers!
