Pretty sure the doors are also unchanged.
It seems that M GmbH is forbidden to change the doors on any AG car.
This is glaringly obvious when you look at the F80 rear fenders.
The rear doors are unchanged.
And that forced the M designers to "pry out" the leading edges of the rear fenders to clear the wider rear track.
The M4 doesn't have this issue because the doors are far enough in front of the rear fenders that the body could be flared properly.
If it had been OK to modify the F80 doors, they would have been more smoothly flared into the wider rear fenders.
That's the 2nd worst design problem with the current M3 IMHO (the headlights-stuck-to-grille being #1, even after the LCI.)
