It's all about the weight...the fatter you are, the slower she goes...just like humans...

The M3 GTS clocked a 7:48, the E46 M3 CSL clocks a 7:50. Here are the complete lap times:

This month’s German publication Sport Auto has the time we’ve been waiting for. Yes the GTS has finally been timed on the ring by the magazine that is famous for measuring all cars on the famed 14 mile track. The time is the lowest ever recorded by a factory BMW: 7:48. However it’s only a scant 2 seconds faster than the 7 year old M3 CSL. And keep in mind the CSL cost substantially less than the $170k GTS.

But as our friend Axle points out, this time is a full 17 seconds faster than the standard E92 M3 on tires that aren’t as aggressive as the cup tires on the CSL.

je prendrais la E46, timeless.

avez vous remarqué qu'il est ecrit BMW E30 sur l'asphalte devant l'auto?
 
^but they do care if its only that fast while all they're rich friends are faster with porsches and GTRs which is the same price.
 
2sec c'est quand meme tout sauf identique, sur une track gagner 2sec quand tu as déja une ligne parfaite c'est une cristie de job sans blague

Sur une track "normale" je suis entièrement d'accord avec toi, sur le nurburgring où un tour dure plus de 7min, c'est pas mal moins dure a aller chercher 2sec.
 
Actually it's all about tires.

Near-slick ''race'' tires are a huge factor in lap times.

I'm getting tired of the 'Ring times...it just doesn't impress anymore.
