It seems like it would, but it only shows it being compatible with the M05's, just wanted to check before I order one. Thanks!
Yes and yes. Nice body that requires a little more work than the usual. The front "splitter" needs reinforcement and the rear wing is a little tricky to get right. Don't short cut or leave any of the parts out or you'll wind up with a fragile rear wing.

It feels as if the body gives a bit more steering than the BMW or the 2006 Cooper S. If you don't bend the splitter, it's a very consistent body without any undesirable characteristics.
