Does the Z4 Coupe have the exact same body/chassis as the Z4MC?

I am sure this has been answered, I tried to search but couldn't find the right words for the question.

Do the other variants of the Z4 Coupe have the exact same body/chassis as the Z4M Coupe? For example, the Z3M had a wider rear than the standard Z3.

Wondering if it's a better idea to buy a normal Z4 Coupe for much less, since I plan to hack it up into a track car and wouldn't want to kill the value of a Z4MC.

Does that even make sense if I am planning on swapping in an S54 anyways? Decent M Coupes are running ~$30k+ with 60-80k miles. I could probably get a non-M coupe for half of that.

That's not true- the Z3M has the same bodywork as the other post-facelift 6 cylinder Z3s.

Sorry, but the Z3M had the same body shape throughout its complete production run. It did not change when the facelift Z3's came out. Here is a photo to help.

There are so many upgrades from a standard Z4 to a Z4M - in my opinion it makes no sense if you plan to put an S54 in anyway. You may as well just buy an M version and have the upgraded parts. The list is very extensive. If you are planning to "hack it up" just buy a well used car. They are a lot less than 30k.
