When driving against E87 on tracks, the turn-in and cornering grip is actually pretty good on the F20, making it easy to keep up with the older sibling.
The question is about stock suspension while you appear to stick to M-Sport.

AFAIK (reportedly, no experience) F20's M-Sport suspension feels quite close to E87's stock (there was an M-Sport option too, thus quite "Mmer" than what we have, presumably) and F20 stock suspension is really too soft for handling seekers. And, of course, electric power steering versus hydraulic - no contest. And different generations of runflat tyres (if applicable).
