If the M2c is $58k that puts it right around $87k already. By 2020 the price of the M2c will likely be over $60k and you are now into the $90k+ range for a CSL.

Not scientific but pretty much a certainty it will be close to $100k if it's a real CSL.
Except the original M2 was 52.5k... not 59K.. but yes.. however.. this is not just a simple math formula.. one has to consider product marketing, placement.. and the competition. .
you can't just scale everything based on another model .. tempting as it may be.

The M4 GTS .. is still well shy of a 911 GT3.

one thing I will say for sure. There is NO WAY an M2 CSL will run more than the next Cayman GT4...

Cayman range is base - $56K , Cayman S at $69K Cayman GTS $80,700 .. even if a Cayman GT4 drops with a 95K base price..

I don't see a competing BMW as MORE expensive ...
If the Cayman GTS is $80k you will never ever ever see a GT4 at $90-95k. Minimum of $105k

As much as you'd like to think BMW care about Cayman pricing they do NOT. The M2 doesn't even have the same target audience...that's why you saw a very expensive M4 GTS get released that was nowhere near as good as a 911 GT3 but priced not that much less than...

My calculations were merely to show you how expensive "CSL" models have traditionally been.
