It doesnt have to be IDENTICAL. They may vary spring rates, ARB rates, even final gearing, and of course different engine/gearbox/esp mappings etc. BMW often varies these parameters between between models on the same platform, even brake rotor size etc.
But they do share the same platform, so identical suspension arm type etc, but by varying the mentioned above components they can give a certain different feel to a car if they choose that seems technically the same on the surface.
Whether they do vary those components you have to search through the parts cataloges when they are available or do hands on measuring between models.
