There is a reason why the M3 shares nothing in it's suspension save two trailing links in the rear. As Swamp mentioned above, geometry, leverage, bushings, mounts, etc have a very large effect on how a chassis responds and handles.
I did not say those are the only parts. He asked a simple question, and I gave a simple answer. From a modified vs stock comparison in lateral gs and grip. Aftermarket upgrades will do the trick. Now if he wants best possible handling then yes get an M3 and then modify it. The m3 is a better platform to start with no matter what - no argument there.
