V8m3 to CSL

[ahtim]

From my point of view, as my car is purely weekend/night drive car so i dont drive it at all during weekday or if it rains. For me i own the new m3 since 2008, and i truly think if it is for daily drive then you should choose the new m3, but for weekend/fast driving, you should pick the CSL.
Much more hardcore and raw



BTW guys, as my car is all stock, i was thinking of changing the exhaust to a custom build header back straight pipe. what do you guys think?

Csl feels "old school" compared to the e92.

Csl out the box is far more motorsport than the e92 is.

E92 with exhaust is a different car, the whole experience changes completely
Whereas IMO the Csl needs nothing changing to be great

The dct is a little detached compared to the smg, but fundamentally in performance terms is better. Smg feels cumbersome IMO at slow speeds. Smg is perfect at high revs, but lacks the finesse lower down. The dct is great througout the range giving kick in back in s6 at warp speed that smg does.




We shall see at croft how the e92 fares on track against the Csl boys.

Both cars have pro and cons, right now for me the e92 has more pros than the Csl does, I did say it was an itch I wanted to scratch and I'm currently scratching like a flea ridden mongrel

I keep looking at Csl thinking I will return, someday I will, that's for certain.

Biggest plus for me is cruise control

Going to Germany is far easier cruising along with legs stretched out, the trip in the pork turbo was great because of this.
