BESTuners BMW M3 CSL '04 Report:
Deep Forest Raceway Time: 1'11. 608
Exterior:
Alright, like any BMW, you can't hate them. I personally, hated this car at first before I started finding the art of the M3's. The CSL mark was confusing at first. And I found out it's the lighter, more sportier version like the real life Altima's. The more luxury ones are heavier, but there's more power. BMW thought smart because they made it into a lighter luxury sports car

I did some research...

...Personally, I love the way I tuned this car, it does have some understeer, but it's not heavy. And it turns great too!!
Pro's on the track:
Lets just put it this way. This car is sexxy on the track
![Wink ;) ;)](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/wink.svg?v=3)
It's very smooth, the tires don't chirp when you accelerate in 2nd gear. It's very smooth on take off. I lowered the spring rates because if it were stiff, the car can't absorb some bumps and it would just fly all over the place if it were stiff because then you wouldn't have full control. In Deep Forest Raceway, I took this car and pushed it. I only got 1'11. 608, but I pushed this car harder than the Supra. In the last turn before you hit the straight away, I didn't brake, I just turned out, turned it, drifted a bit, and took the corner at about 130 mph

And I still didn't hit the grass!!
Con's on the track:
The basic issue; Understeer. That's what all cars suffer in games and real life. You just can't eliminate it completely. I put ASM Understeer high again because I've noticed that it works!! I thought if you put it at 0 all the Understeer would go away, but I was wrong. Turning the cars Driving Aids up actually helps a bit...Well the Understeer part actually does...It still slides and smokes a little bit if it starts to Understeer. If you go too fast and then brake, be careful not to turn because your revs will go up and then back down, and your car will slide a bit too. Other than those bad parts, it's all okay...
In conclusion:
I like this car. I didn't want to put a wing on it to help me this time because I don't think my M3's have to have a wing

I like this car, I bought it a while ago and drifted it, and then I stopped, and ever since then, for racing in tournaments, I've put 578.8 miles on it...Boy, I feel cool

But yeah, this car is nice, and it does include racing tires as usual, but if you put "S" tires on the car, it has more understeer, but it's still driveable...At least for me...
