I suggest that you are only partly correct here. The BHX ILS is a full Cat 3 ILS indeed, the 737 can only take advantage of it down to 200m RVR (Visibility) whereas more capable aircraft (eg A320 family) can probably use it to 75m RVR. So in some aspects it is/can be the aircraft while at CWL it is the ILS itself.
