We are missing the opportunity to see CSLs with 20 x 12J square setups and -5 deg camber

Weird, I could swear my car was on lightweight, forged 18s

That would be nice for me... but I can't see it being true in this case. The CSL rear window isn't "better" so much as a different priority set. As in, it trades off increased cabin noise for weight. That is a trade off that I want to make (clearly from this thread), but I suspect it is not one that average BMW owner want to make. I (sadly) suspect the standardized version will be the non CSL version in this case.

Keep it rolling guys, remove the elitist egos, makes the world a nicer place.



Definately do not want a xenophobic atmosphere here especially with our brothers with M3's.

I was pretty surprised with the response I got.
