Hi,

That LHD one if its not been
fighting, looks like quite a good
buy.

Std LHD CSL quicker than a std RHD one.

LHD one has Magnesium wheels as well. Bargain !

The Germans made it work ! All the RHD are just a compromise of the real deal ... the true design with regards weight distribution etc., (and a load of other stuff that Gorilla will be able to expand upon) will be for a LHD ..... I think ?

Hi,

Toplad- The E46 M3 was designed as
a LHD car hence the exhaust manifold is
bastardised for the RHD steering
linkage, about 3-4 BHP less.

Then the S54 L6 engine is inclined
to the right,and thus the weight distribution
with driver only, is much better in
a LHD car than a RHD car.

** DuncanR beat me to it.

The Gorilla.

Will the rhd cars be better at going round rhd bends - ie clockwise tracks?

I can see the logic and good info but in the real World that's no difference at all. On a racecar maybe but as a road and occasional track car (well set up) that would count for 1% of naff all.

Duncan, stop being so sensible. I can't get used to it.
