I remember reading about another car, but probably an exotic; can't even remember when I read that, or which car. I'd have much preferred not having front strut suspension than individual TBs. Or better brake calipers. Oh well.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the MacPherson front suspension of the current M3, it does what it is supposed to and does it well. It's suspension geometry and design is fine and doesn't need to be done with as you are requesting.

Throttle response? There is a very large difference between ITB and non ITB along with a very different power delivery.
