I enjoyed the footage, but have no idea what the tire difference is between those two cars. Did I miss something?

The difference is the CSL runs the orginial Michelin Cup+ tyres which believe it or not are actually better in the dry than the new version but the stock M3 were running the best Michelin road tyre of the time (can't remember the model number).
The problem with semi-race tyres is they are or at least use give unbelieveable grip right up to the end and then they let go with no warning, at least with a ultra high performance tyre is they will let go with warning just before it totally lets go, you know how far you can push them. Now on a track with large go off areas and gravel traps the semi-race are fine but on the road I prefer the that little bit of warning, call me a chicken if you like.
