Hi,

That LHD one if its not been
fighting, looks like quite a good
buy.

Std LHD CSL quicker than a std RHD one.

The Gorilla.

The Germans made it work ! All the RHD are just a compromise of the real deal ... the true design with regards weight distribution etc., (and a load of other stuff that Gorilla will be able to expand upon) will be for a LHD ..... I think ?

Hi,

Toplad- The E46 M3 was designed as
a LHD car hence the exhaust manifold is
bastardised for the RHD steering
linkage, about 3-4 BHP less.

Then the S54 L6 engine is inclined
to the right,and thus the weight distribution
with driver only, is much better in
a LHD car than a RHD car.

** DuncanR beat me to it.

The Gorilla.

Will the rhd cars be better at going round rhd bends - ie clockwise tracks?

french csl never make 360 hp on roller, just about 345/350 hp, and they are lhd.

mine was checked @ 361 hp, and the airbox sound isn't the same as french ones. don't know why, perhaps she has kept her english accent.

and mine is quicker than french ones, why ?? maybe cause i turn harder on right corner than left corner thanks to the "bad" weight distribution

i will keep my old csl !!
