This is my hopeful side, a bit day dreaming a M2 CSL too; my practical side tells me that after all these strong numbers (including a price ready to fly away with options), accessories, M Perf. parts etc. there may be a slimmer chance of seeing one

Guess we need to wait and see.

i agree with you in parts.... the performance of the m235 sounds really impressive and if you take into account the M performance parts BMW is promising, it will definitely take to the next level. However, having said that, the more i think, for the good or bad, i believe they could come up with a limited production M2 car, similar to what they did to the 1M, a limited production car that will just enhance the performance of the m235 after all the m parts. that would be a way to create something very special without compromising the sales of the m3/m4
