Nürburgring duel: BMW 1 Series M Coupé Vs M3 CSL

Posted 1st August, 2011 in BMW, Videos | Leave a comment

Dutch BMW fanatic Advevo picked up this factory-fresh 340 bhp BMW 1 Series M Coupé and headed straight to the Nürburgring to see what it could do. What better car could he have chosen to take on than the track-focused 360 bhp E46 M3 CSL? Remember, the Baby M is wearing regular road tyres, while the CSL is running on Michelin Pilot Sport Cup semi-slick racing rubber. He managed to complete a lap in 8.15, but that time was disrupted by traffic and slowing for an accident, so a sub eight second lap seems realistic.
