mmmm.....M3

[JXL]

m3 ooooo yeah balls have hit the floor

[SkylineSII]

i have been a passenger in one just today. A bmw shop i do work for as a sub one of the mechanics was taking it for a test drive so i jumped aboard and i must say i havent lost the smile of my face yet and it was doing the speed limit lol

[silver gts-t]

i know its a "BMW", a great piece of engineering BUT the only reason id take that is to sell it and use the cash to build a nice r34 gtr and still have some left over in the bank.

seriously

[JXL]

yeah m3 pricing is quite ridiculous specially the CSL version which is what $220K

[Kor'axis]

$220k .... yeah but these things beat the 360 ferrari any which way from 0-260km/h as thati believe is it's top speed (unmodified) where as the ferrari woudl top out at 320 if i'm not mistaken... maybe when i win the lottery

[Ronin]

Was behind an M3 csl at the lights here in adelaide a while ago. I'd have one i rekon

God, that CSL is beautiful. Even though the the carbon fiber front splitter is a bit lol.

cant beat european engineering

sorry guys heheh

[Guerilla]

Thats why you buy a normal M3 and turn it into a sex machine.

Why would you spend 220k on something that doesnt even come with a radio or aircon?

[ChaserV]

cant beat european engineering

sorry guys heheh

I agree buddy.

In my gallery their is some crappy photos of my dads new car, Audi A6 3.0 TDi.

Not quite a CSL, but its nice

Disregards what specs you might have read, I've personally seen a 360 against a m3 csl in "control " condition, haha. Anyway, all I can say the ferrari absolutely flogs the m3 csl.

and it wasn't by a small margin either, Also the m3 comes from the factory with yoko semi slicks and put semi slicks on a ferrari it get worst for the m3.

I'm neither a fan of BMW or Ferrari, just so happen the fazza sound so horny, even more so than my daily car.

[slow13dude]

I'd tap that.

Because you buy an M3 CSL for a dedicated track car. You don't WANT radio or aircon. THAT is why you spend $220k on an M3 CSL.

If you think that price is ridiculous for a track car, you obviously aren't BMW's target market, and should stick with $20,000 skylines like I will :Oops:

The M3 CSL uses custom designed Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tyres, not Yokohamas.

Yes, the Ferrari 360 will eat an M3 CSL alive around any race track. It is also twice the price.

For reference, the 360 Challenge Stradale is something like 5-6 seconds faster around the Top Gear test track and the M3 CSL. Lap times are something like 1:22 and 1:28 respectively.

Interesting, i read that the CSL was actually quicker around a track then the GT3 Porsche, and my understandign was that GT3s made a meal of std 360s. The Challange Stradale is another animal all together.

20k Skylines...lol, ill stick with my 10k clapper R32:(

[leb]

I'd still rather that than any skyline.

Its a brand new M3 CSL why would you want a GT-R when you could have that? it would handle so much better than a gt-r too
