Anyone know which is the quickest out of the following please.

Z3M COUPE
E46 COUPE
E46 CSL

Please take into account the following

0-60
0-100
1/4 Mile
1/2 Mile
Top speed
Best handling on the twisties or on track
All standard cars with no mods
Does anyone have any performance figures?
I know that the Z3M COUPE comes with a couple of different power outputs depending on the year of the car.

Thanks in advance
Terry

What I know about BMW'S could be written on the back of a stamp
I have driven a ZM3 COUPE quite a few times but just want to know how they compare to the others.
I know the CSL is supposed to be really quick but is it that much quicker than the others?

Thanks
Terry

My brother went from a Z3M coupe to an E46 M3 cab.

I have a video somewhere of us having a little play side by side, me driving the Z3M and him the M3, and the E46 destroys the Coupe.

Would like to see the video if you still have it.
The M Coupe is quick but does not seem as quick as I thought it would be.
If that makes sense.

Thanks

seems a strange set of cars to compare if you are thinking of buying? considering the big price differences between the 3.

obviously the CSL will be quickest in all situations.

the Z3M is basically an E36 M3 engine stuck in a Z3.

the E46 M3 is the newer one, and is better than the E36 in ALL areas.

the E46 M3 CSL to the M3 is like the RS500 to the 3door

No its not, its actually better in standard trim than the m3, the 500 wasnt.
The csl has been built to work out of the box, the 500 was built to allow parts to be homologated and used in a totally different manner on the race cars, it suffers from not benefits from the T4 in standard trim.
