+ YouTube Video

I beleive the start was pretty even, the BMW M3 CSL is closely edging ahead in the start thanks to it's lower weight.

I (Gustav) am driving the manual BWM M3 E92 6-speed and looks liek I do a good job vs the BMW M3 CSL SMGII, since we both start on 2nd gear.

Oh man. The E92 whipped him! Proves the V8 is great for higher speeds.

Once you've sat and driven a CSL you wouldn't even consider stepping into a E9x.

i'm disappointed as i expected the m3 csl to hold up better at high speeds. Also the shifts don't sound very quick.. did he forget to put it on the fastest mode?

I would have been very surprised if it were the other way around.

Keep in mind the cars were going 50-260 km/h. That is when HP and torque come into play. And the new M3 has plenty of that.

Its is the 8400 rpm limiter and V8 that is fast on the M3 V8, not the CSL.

i am totally agree with you, a csl in s6 mod was faster (gear) than this car on movie...

Is the driver on the forum ?

Gustav · 25th January 2008, 15:21

He is not, but he wil lregister. He did use S6.

The V8 of the new BMW M3 with it's 84000 rpm limiter is alot faster in the straight line that the BMW M3 CSL.
