Hard not to see the Beemer being faster.
I believe the E46 M3 has 343bhp, and the E46 M£ CSL has around 20 bhp more (and lighter, which on 5th gear made it a full 2 seconds quicker on a lap, but at a very high cost) on the previous model the M3 Evo has 321 BHP and the standard M3 has 302(?) bhp, (might very well be incorrect one that last figure)
