BMW did say in a PowerPoint slide (which has been in some other threads) they were retiring the GTS badge for CSL before they made this car but it was more a badge swap.
In the "CSL story", the M2 CSL had a cage and wing.
I think BMW ultimately just figured that people didn't want the best version of the final ICE M3/M4 to be a winged track-rat car. As the F80 GTS was very good but no one bought it. And when you look to Porsche, people always buy Tourings over winged cars.
I will say people love the way this car looks, I got tons of thumbs up, jaw drops from kids, etc when driving around this weekend.
