If you have ever seen a C7 up close you will realize it is a much smaller car than a BMW 3 series car. It's not Lotus-small but almost.

The Stingray is just under 4" (10cm) shorter wheelbase, roughly 5" (12cm) shorter overall length and just over 2,5" (6,6cm) wider than the F30 3-series. It's not a huge difference, even though it might appear so due to the different design.
If we will see the promised weights on the M3 is another matter, but given BMW's stated DIN weight of under 1500kg in base version (just as the Stingray's weight also is quoted for a base version) the M3 shouldnt lag far behind the Stingray...
