The CSL is a hardcore track car. Tuned suspension, motor, carbon roof, LSD, and barely street legal tires (BMW warns you not to drive the car in the rain or cold weather). Yet it posts the same time as a car that's "not a real M car", lacks the fancy "s" motor, no LSD, and is more of an all around performer instead of focused track car.

I get it, the CSL is an amazing car, but come on........
This. I'm siding with the m235i. The E46 M3 is the benchmark not the other way around so for a "fake" M car to even hang with it is impressive.

I figured this was how the comments will be:

a) Advantage E46 M3 CSL: Even after all these years, it can hang with cars of today...more pure, N/A I6, etc...

OR

b) Advantage m235i: With all the safety precautions and how heavy cars have become, it can hang with a car built for the track.
