In all seriousness, you're asking whether to plump for an M3 or CSL on a CSL forum. You're bound to get lots of pro-CSL chat, some good some not so good. I'm not pro-CSL, instead I just look at the factors with a clear head.

The fact of the matter is that a CSL has something like a £10k premium on a stock M3. To some thats no money, to others it represents winning the lottery. YMMV ! Its not a £10k better car though is it?

And put a stock M3 in the hands of someone talented versus average Jo in his CSL. We know the outcome there.

I believe I answered your subject, the question being "Real world difference" - the difference is that you'll be £10k lighter in the wallet with something a bit more prestigious but it won't halve your commute time.

Here CSL is not the average Joe's car

On a separate note, has your mate got his footage from Sunday? wouldn't mind seeing it is possible :) my footage is alright, but would be much better with a wide angle!



To be fair, you can get a good M3 over here for £10k but it will be basic, and a good CSL for £25k so at 2.5x the cost of a standard M3, it's not far of the price difference where you are (respectively speaking of course) :)

£10k sounds like £30k where you are :thumbs:
