Just a joke, but really if you need M track on track then you will not be fast fast IMO.

I did do yes, sadly not a csl owner no more, only time I used M track, was pissing down rain on track and for first few sessions only. Then it was sideways , I really learnt alot about the breakaway points with dsc off, esp in the wet, I then put the lesson learnt to use on dry track, making me faster.

M track will not save a physics defying spin, if you cant catch yourself what M track stops, then yes you will need it.

Some corners a little spin up helps, others not so, but you soon learn which corners they are.

M track is ok, but its a very primative system, compared to ferrari system which can make anyone look like a legend, it is in the ice age.

But if you are slowly learning and new to M3 and rwd then its a good stepping stone.

I was brought up on rwd so I like a bit of arse action, well so the rumours say anyhow
That makes me kick myself in some ways, I did a track day at Silverstone in the wet yesterday and left the DSC on for the whole day as it was flashing everywhere and the track was very very slippery...could have learnt alot from it though I guess!

This is my second RWD car now, and the one before was my e36 M3 with no traction, although I just got used to that, but having a fwd in-between has got me out of the steer from the rear habbits

A standard CSL, feels similar to a modded M3, a modded CSL, feels better still.

NO they are not the quickest or best car out there, but they are very very very good.
Oh right so it is just the rack then... well the CSL they have coming in soon has KW V3's and AP's all round so it's sounding like it'll be very hard to resist...
