Unfortunately the M3 is tied to base 3-series development, so there's little influence to be had over the growth in some dimensions. I noticed that Porsche kept the wheelbase the same on the 992 as on the 991. It seems they are catching on that chassis growth each gen isn't sustainable indefinitely.
