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.

Good point.. And I agree. I'm not concerned about which comes first. The M4 is in a cycle ahead of the M2 and has been since the E9x.
However we have an M4 GTS so if we also get an M4 CSL that would be interesting. It would have to be over $150K in US however and in serious super car territory.
I envision a CSL homage vehicle perhaps and M2 CSL because the chassis is available.
