Default M3 / CSL Question

Are the brakes on a CSL different to those on a normal M3?

If so, in which way are they different?

Thank you please

Yes the Front Brakes on the Csl are different !

345mm Diameter instead of 325 normal M3

Also the Caliper and Braket is Alloy and not Cast Iron as M3 BUT Still Looks the Same !

A simple upgrade for an M3 is to fit Csl Disc's and Brackets !

HTH

I've had AP's before and there's just no comparison for lap after lap thrashing. At bedford I was out for 30mins before I had to come in to refuel with the escos. I recon I'll be doing one hot lap, one cool lap in the CSL.
