Jamming the grille from a 1972 Ford Torino in the M3 isn't supported by any engineering or aero-tuning claims.

The M3s before the 4 series are mostly coupes. The original design is always a coupe and the sedan takes the same facia. I don't know why you can't get that through your head. Look at the E90 M3 front...
You are the only person confused here.
