First of all, I`m not here to defend BMW in everything they do.
But I think BMW had a different focus with this gen. M5 compared to prev gen.
Through history M5 has been more of a soft famely car with high performance, think last gen were kind of a leap to the side as a more driver-focused car, like it or not. F10 has like stepped back into its natural habitat.
With the M3 its a different story, it has always built its reputation on handling and high-reving engines with proper throttle responce. Actually, in Europe the E92 got some criticism for being to soft and distanced from the driver. Anyway, I think BMW simply cannot afford to fail with the M3/4, it would destroy their reputation built up throughout the history of M3s. I have always thought that the day BMW put a TC-engine in the M3 would be the day we get a high reving TC engine without lag and with proper throttle responce in an affordable car, (excluding hypercars).
