Top Gear VoTW - BMW M3 CSL

Jeremy Clarkson took the BMW M3 CSL to the Isle of Mann to test it out. 

The Isle of Mann is a driver's dream - no speed limits outside the towns!  Do whatever you feel like doing.... just remember there will be other idiots doing the same.

The BMW M3 CSL is an amazing machine.  It makes a regular M3 look like a Honda Civic. 

  • Nothing that adds extra weight-
    • no air conditioning
    • no radio
    • manual windows
    • carbon fibre roof (don't roll over!)
    • cardboard.... yes, cardboard!..... trunk floor.  in other words, groceries shouldn't weigh more than a few pounds
  • An engine that squeezes out more horses from the same volume
  • Slick summer tires; before you buy the car, you have to sign a waiver saying you understand BMW is not responsible if you drive in rain or snow.  Now that's a race car!
