BMW M3 CSL & New M3 Competition: Is the E46 Still the Greatest M3? Feat. Tiff Needell

The BMW M3 CSL is one of the most celebrated driver's cars BMW has ever made. Compact, focused and built around a naturally aspirated straight-six, it delivered the kind of raw, unfiltered driving experience that made it an instant modern classic the moment it went on sale. The BMW M3 Competition takes everything further. 543 horsepower, xDrive all-wheel drive, carbon fibre throughout and a 0-62 time of 3.2 seconds. It is the most powerful and most capable M3 BMW has ever produced. Two legends, Vicki Butler-Henderson and Tiff Needell, get behind the wheel of both cars to find out just how far BMW M has evolved. The BMW M3 Competition is available with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres for road and occasional track use or Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres for a more track-focused setup. So is the BMW M3 CSL still the ultimate expression of what a BMW M3 should be, or has the new M3 Comp taken things to another level? 🎬 Watch our latest videos and subscribe: @DriverReviews 🔍 Find out more about DriverReviews: https://www.driverreviews.com/ -- About Us – We are here to help save motorists time and effort in the process of researching and selecting new tyres for their vehicles; by providing expert content, help, advice, and thousands of consumer reviews to support finding the right tyres for their vehicle.
