Not really.
BMW M cars are dramatically different mechanically than the regular version.
Take the 3 series coupe for example. The M3 is a V8 (instead of a turbo 6), and just about every significant mechanical part is unique to the M3. Engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, etc. (And the carbon fiber roof, too).
M cars are not just exhaust bumpers and side skirts.
