Actually, every 3 series - and, soon, every single car BMW sells, in fact - will be turbocharged.
Still, that hardly leaves "a little suspension" as the only difference between an M3 and a 3 series. The improvements made to the car to go from 3 to M3 are numerous and significant. I'd suggest a little research - it will be enlightening.

There are only 20% common parts between 3series and M3!
BUT ... Why are you so sure that the M3 is not getting an V6 and an N54/55 based I6 instead? Have you better inside informations?
Why do you think that the M-GmbH is not able to change their mind ... its 100% clear that in the begining the N54/55 based I6 was the absolut favored engine choise ... but at that time cost reduction is the overall/only thinking that was possible ... but if you take a look at cars like the upcoming M3 EVO and M3 CSL, it looks like the M Spirit is back again ... and an unique engine design was one off the M roots ... and an V6 derivate of the S63 and an S65 BiTurbo are the only engines that could fullfil this sprit.
