I believe in Dr. Segler's "walk around" video he indicates the 1M shares the same subframe with the M3. I have also read from separate sources that the two vehicles share the same "body pan". This last item confuses me since as unibody vehicles I would not expect the chassis could be altered as such.

Control arms should be the same, but agree springs/dampers will be different. Dampers are aluminum which I believe is an evolution of the current M3.

Obviously no EDC.
