M8 versus M5 CS

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
The BMW M5 CS has had incredible reports in the British motoring press making it out to be head and shoulders above the M5 Competition and the M8 Competition in handling terms. They seem to put this down to M8 Competition Gran Coupé shock absorbers and I guess one or two other tweets.

Does anyone know the differences and my question would be can an M8 Competition Coupe be modified to bring it up to M5 CS specification. If so what parts are needed?

Hi. Thanks for the replies. I am talking about fast road use but more to the point the best that is available. I am waiting to hear about an M8 CS if there is to be such a thing. If there is it will be lighter than the M5 (or should be) and should handle as well or better than the M5 CS. It would then hopefully get better reviews in the British motoring press. Not that what they say is that believable.
Thanks for the comparison very useful and interesting side by side.
Cheers.
