13 x 8 are far too big on a Mini. They actually make the handling worse, minis handle better with 10 inch wheels.

Granted the grip would obviously increase.

And if you are beating M3s in a mini the M3 driver either wasn't trying or you were racing them on a go kart sized course. Get out on a proper track and watch them leave your mini in the dust...

Those properly factory tuned Mini's the Cooper S's were giant killers back in the day taking out much larger engined cars in British Touring Cars and World Rally
I'd say a Factory Mini would stand a good chance vs an M3
