I don't think that's how it works.
The current thinking at M seems to be: approx. 50kg weight reduction -> CS. And approx 100kg weight reduction -> CSL (of course, plus all the other stuff).
So it's relative to the (base M) car's weight, not some "if it is < 1650 kg, it's a CSL" total weight thing.
The F87 M2 is complicated due to the Competition having a different engine for emissions regulations and the F87 M2 Competition was apparently originally supposed to be a CS, while a CSL was planned that would ultimately become the CS. But those plans were shattered when they had to replace the base model with an S55 engine based car so both models had to come down one step in the ladder.

Didn't they take off almost a hundred from the M5CS?
