Here is a lap behind a track prep CSL in my bog standard 1M coupe.
Some more info.
The guy in the CSL has done lots of laps more then 1000 but is no racing driver. I have done about only 80 laps in total or so. But i am racing driver and adapt very fast to new tracks. If i had more laps under my belt i could go easy under 8 minutes BTG. I really doubt the 7.50 CSL ring time the 1M is pretty close already there no 25 sec difference. Mount some pilot sport cups on the 1M and there is not much in it.
I was driving in M mode and DSC off. Everything else was off factory.
The seats don t give enough support on track and you still sitting to high in car. On long journey s to the ring the seats are perfect. So it s all compromise. And you can swap seats for race shells seats easily if you wish.
The M3 CSL has:
Rollcage
pilots sport cups on 18 inch wheels
Better coil over suspension
Big brakes
race seats and harness
Titan exhaust with race cats
Official Sport Auto ring times are:
M3 CSL - 7:50
BMW 1M Coupe - 8:15
