| | The BMW M3 CSL - In Detail (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | There are two fascinating sides to the world of physics not everybody may realize right away: First, physics provide a clearly defined foundation for all driving processes in a car; second, nobody can go beyond the laws of physics, which are the same at all times and in all places. |
 | | First and foremost, the M3 CSL uses materials such as carbon-fibre -reinforced plastic (CFP), glass-fibre plastics carried over from aerospace, aluminum and other lightweight materials wherever they are most appropriate. |
 | | Indeed, this is where intelligent lightweight technology serves to raise driving dynamics to a very high standard, the carbon-fibre roof not only being six kilos lighter than the conventional steel roof of the M3, but also helping to significantly lower the car’s centre of gravity thanks to this reduction of weight where it really counts. |
