Same thing goes for the E65/E66, E60/E61, E63/E64, and F01/F02. As tenfifteen said, they're getting more specific, for one reason or another.

BTW, there's also the E91 wagon, but not for the M3. ;)

Congrats on the acquisition, and I agree. It's a great car. I'd like to have all the iterations of the M3 at some point, so you're off to a great start. :)

40k miles on original shocks isn't nothing. It's not going to feel new, no matter what. But, I'd recommend getting some coilovers anyhow... the handling difference is night-and-day.

GT3 is not a very good DD, especially 996. 997 has PASM for a more comfy ride when you want it, but it still isn't as good of a DD as the E46 M3.
