"Right from the front the M3 CSL, through its newly designed, muscular front air dam made of carbon-fibre -reinforced plastic (CFP) with an additional engine air intake on the driver’s side demonstrates clearly that it is built for supreme performance of the highest calibre. Flaps also clearly visible from outside serve additionally to reduce front axle lift by a significant margin. At the other end of the car the newly designed rear lid made of sheet moulding compound (SMC), together with the integrated spoiler, also serves in conjunction with the CFP rear diffuser to significantly reduce lift forces."

If I ever bought an M3 CSL, I'd have the body shop mirror the hole on the other side. It would be purely for asthetics, but then at least the front end would be symmetrical!

Yeah, it looks kinda weird, but it's a great car alltogether!

Checkout the video of a CSL around the Nurburgring on racinflix!
