Unfortunately the position of BMW M within BMW is more visible through:

-M Sport models
-pseudo M models like the 1M (number in front of letter)
-M SUVs like X5M, X6M
-The coming new real M models such as the M2 and M4

However, I too remain thrilled that the M4 probably has a unique M engine. The flip side of that is that per BMWs cost and materials offensives (their exact word, not mine), the block/heads will undoubtedly be used on other models in the future. Thus it has little to no chance to be a truly M3/M4 specific M engine.
