I think a ton of us (myself included) would really like to see a "more ultimate" version of the M2, whatever moniker BMW decides to slap on it. Even with the base M2 getting a lot of praise so far, I think many people agree that there is more that could be accomplished with the platform, or at least theoretically so.

With that being said, what would be the business case to do so? Please forgive my ignorance - but it seems to me that BMW would only do something like this if there was a racing series that the car could be featured in - is that indeed the case?

I truly think that BMW would sell every single car they made, whether it was a CS or CSL or whatever. And they could charge $85-90K for it and not have a problem. But in order to invest the time, resources, and R&D necessary, I would think that there has to be a larger end goal (with a larger payout) in mind...
