Weight
Way heavier than the 1605 kg figure from the Italian mag. Wasn't that your post as well? 1605 was very encouraging, 1635 is quite a bit more. What do you think the difference is attributed to?

I checked and unluky they don't mention (both the reviews) exactly which options the two cars had into those weights. I can't help sorry..But I can mention that the difference between the two German M3 (e46 and e92) is correct. About 80 kg. bye |

Hi..
I need your opinion and help.I want to Post all the time only correct numbers and all points of view...so: I know that (probably) in February the same Magazine tested another e46. There are rumors that in February that car was faster than the car tested in November. So since you speak German better than me () can you discover why this difference? why if it is true they didn't use the lap time of February that seems faster ? In November the difference is 5,1 sec with same tires. If we consider the February test the difference is 2,8 sec between the e46 and e92 (still very good). Did they use Cup tires? why they don't consider in November issue the February's lap time? bye and thanks |

Great post... and the only slight difference between the E92 and CSL is awesome considering the CSL was on cup tires and the E92 was not.

And some say the new M3 is not that much better than a regular E46 M3 performance wise
