The 2K12 KUB (SA-6) system had several incremental releases, the 9K37 BUK (SA-11) and the 9K317 BUK-M2 (SA-17) systems.

Main difference is the increased number of target channels...
... while the KUB can track 2 targets parallel and engage one with several missiles, the BUK can engage several targets in the same time.

Also missile range is increased, KUB ~25km, BUK ~35km, BUK-M2 ~50km.
