I don't think this is true. Having just one front bumper and headlight assembly for all M3s kept costs down.

This time, there's no reason to believe that the turbocharged inline 6 wouldn't fit in the larger F30.
Moreover, this time around there is the Gran Coupe, and since the whole point of that car is to provide, at a price premium, the coupe's styling to those who want the practicality of a sedan, putting that same front end on the actual sedan too would seem to be a bad business move.
