Anyone know/ can find out/ point me in the direction of exactly what the baseline is for a factory e46 M3 csl.

It has to be a totally standard car. Any help greatly appreciated guys, thank you.

The numbers, for a bog standard e46 M3 csl minus driver (with or without fuel, doesn't really matter so much). What the weight is under each wheel. This is what I could do with knowing.

It's to help me set up a customer car. Failing this my technical German is not really good enough to talk shop with M gmbh about it, and I may have to try but I thought I might chance it that someone here may already have played with one and know the stock weights.

The trouble is the cars stock corner weights weren't measured on the stock suspension (the scales were on loan), hence the question. It is to give us a better idea of where we can go with it etc.

Cheers.

make a call to CA Automotive and ask a guy called Jayson, I believe he should know. Failing that, contact your local BMW dealers, they should be able to supply the info

I dont believe there is nothing on the web about this though

Appreciated bro, thank you. I'll give them a holler tommorrow as I think we are slightly past CA's 7pm deadline.

Nothing that I could readily find online and I pretty much work online. That came as less of a suprize :wink:
