A train loads much much faster than a bus.
Are you saying that the OP can take the train to 2E-M, staying airside the whole time?
Is the OP going to be able to get to 2E-M without going through security?
Does the OP have any choice about where to go through passport control, and if there is a better choice, which is it?
If OP is going from 2D to 2E-M, the journey can be done airside
by bus. There's no way exiting and clearing passport control and security with CDG origintating passengers will be faster than bus+train.
OP will definitely be able to get to 2E-M without going through security. At CDG, when connecting airside, schengen to international connections do not involve security check, similar to other European airports (ie. AMS, BCN, MAD) but international to international or international - schengen do.
OP does not have a choice to go through passport control. If coming from 2F, passport control will happen at 2F before going to 2E K or 2E L/M. If coming from 2D, passport control will happen at 2D before boarding the bus. OP can, of course, choose to go through passport control at 2E but this will involve leaving the secure area and going through security again.
