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.

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.

ultimately is the tires that stops a car
i doubt we can just pin point just one thing why one car stops faster, it's all relative.
weigth, weight transfer, co-eff. of friction, brake baised, abs/non abs, brakepower, brake balance, thermal capacity,etc.

that doesn't sounds right, the sticker the rubber will stop faster IF the brake is ABS, if it's not an abs brake there's alot more to calculate.

Also yes ABS' are different model to model but we don't know any specs of them. I assume them to be equal.
