The M4 should reach more than 300km/h, but that is only half the story. The other half is how it corners. The double wishbone front suspension has lost 5kg. Tolerance free joints and bushings increases stability. The rear suspension is mounted directly to the body. The active rear diff is taken from the M5/M6.
the M3 doesn't use a double-wishbone suspension. I think we all wish it did, but it doesn't have the space for it. It's a MacPherson strut setup.
