No.

almost all, if not all, the body panels differ between the coupe and sedan
the coupe is also slightly longer, wider and stock suspension setup is marginally lower than the sedan
tail lights and headlamps and indicator lights and bootlid reverse lights are also different
even wing mirrors are not the same
sedan boot spoilers will not fit a coupe bootlid
drivers and front passenger seats are different
all interior panel trim is different
bumpers are probably diffferent too

It depends. I think the coupe is slightly heavier even without the 2 extra doors. Further, CIs are usually CBU or UK-specced with more stringent emission safeguards which means slightly lower bhp i.e. 189 bhp for 325Ci vs. CKD 325i's 192 bhp. It's only very slight but the CKD 325i might pip a nose against a Euro 325Ci in a drag.

Have to keep in mind the torque as well. Not just the BHP!
