The E46 CSL didn't have anything like that, so no reason to believe we would expect to see a huge eyesore on this car, be it a CS or CSL.
In Paul's defense, while the E46 CSL didn't have an outlandish wing, the original E9 CSL was known as the "Batmobile" for no reason other than its radical aerodynamic wings, quite the opposite of what we would call humble.






That being said, I agree that the M2 in its current form would not look pretty or aggressive with a wing of that stature.
But of course, if aerodynamics does necessitate a big wing, then so-be-it.

"Form follows function" are good words to live by when it comes to developing something as serious as a car bearing the coveted CSL moniker and I trust that BMW M (and M Design) have the ability to integrate it into a brilliant, aggressive design, provided they don't cut corners! (No excuses for a CSL)
