There was no compelling reason for BMW to use the new 4-series grille on the upcoming M3 when the M340i front-end would have served perfectly well. 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.
