Look at the myriad of differences between the F15 and F85:

I don't think anyone claimed that installing a set of air filters was anything more than a minor upgrade. With any significant improvement in performance, it would be wise to install more capable wheels, tires, brakes, and suspension components It's a work in progress.

The F15 and the F85 had completely different engine layouts.

The standard G05 and F95 also have completely different layouts.

The M50i variants of the G05 and the F95..... do not however. They are virtually identical in chassis, engine, transmission, drivetrain, etc.
