As of 1st July 1988 an evolution kit was homologated for the M3. Externally it featured a slightly deeper front spoiler as well as a bootlit mounted spoiler below the rear wing. I think there were some mechanical alterations as well.

Was there a specific reason why John Brindley was replaced by Andy Middlehurst for the GP support race and beyond?

A good day for Andy Rouse, but it must have been during this period that Robb Gravett thought he was given second hand material by Andy Rouse. Don't know when Mike Smith felt the same in the Prodrive camp.
