Let's say the following statements are true. (18" wheels perform better than 19" wheels, and the CSL is the performance brand for BMW's M division. CSL owners are more interested in performance than standard M3 owners.)
If it were merely a matter of sacrificing aesthetics for performance, why not give the option for both?
I submit that there is always the exception in every case and I'm hardly an expert, but this one seems to fall right in that category.

Sorry mate, I think you didn't understand what I was meaning. Basically a car can only truly be set-up for one wheel/tyre size, the fact that BMW didn't offer any other option on the CSL proves as much. But in the standard M3 we were given a choice and because of this that is why we are debating the merits of each.
