There is a great chance the lower weight and wider tires have a lot to do with the shorter distance.

Its not even weight, its the tires.

If the brakes can lock up the wheels (which ALL stock brakes can), then you are tire limited in your stopping distance, not brake limited.

So then if someone puts the same brakes and the same tires on the m3, it will stop just as quick?

Give me a break.
