I wanted a OEM fit and got some bonnet grills to go in.
I can only compare it to the CSL with intrax, AP's and cups on square set up.
First off with exactly the same mods the M3 was a bit off the pace, just didn't turn in as well and handle the faster high speed turns.
Since diff, aero, all new solid bushes Id say it is quicker and more stable than the CSL. I find the car effortless to drive. I didn't even push it at Bedford and knew it was quicker from the first session.
Also with the 4.1 diff I am exiting the hairpins in 3rd and short shifting all the way to 6th, so not needing to thrash it, where as other M3's Ive followed on track are in 2nd all the way to 5th on a long straight.
The CSL does have the edge over about 110mph and starts to come back on the straights.
Overall Im really happy that this car corners like a go kart.
