You've left out the money angle.
That is, any car which carries the CSL badge is going to draw a lot of attention, particularly at the start. And that means the profit potential on such a car is huge. IMO, that's how the discussion starts, i.e., what platform will yield the highest profit. I don't think the M2 platform will do that. There have been a number of discussions why the M2 is considered a "limited availability" car. A strictly M2 CSL platform would be faced with those same constraints, and constraints would lower profit. No such constraints seem to exist with the M3/M4 production. Which is why I think the first CSL platform will be M4 sized - unconstrained production.
