What people expected was an M3 based on the G20, just like previous generations where based on the base 3'er. Yes BMW is going a different direction with the 4, but I think they should have stayed more conservative with the sedan.

P.S. Before someone makes the comment I do believe the F80 front end was based on the "coupe" front end, but it still resembled the F30.
People should've never expected that because we've known for many, many, MANY months that the 4 was modeled with large vertical kidney grills, and since the last few iterations of M3/4's have been based on the coupe front end, it should be no surprise to anybody that the next ///M will follow that same approach. Anybody who expected it to look like the 3 was just being purposely stubborn.......like a virulent toddler.
