Maybe.

The F8x M3 and M4 coupe arrived at the same time. In the two prior generations where an M3 sedan was available, it arrived after the coupe did (the E90 M3 was a few months behind the E92 M3, while the E36 M3 sedan came years after the E36 M3 coupe). So, from a historic perspective the M3 sedan coming first would be unprecedented.

The F32 4 Series coupe will end production by mid next year. The G22 4 Series coupe will begin production immediately after. Since, as the OP states, the G80 M3 is currently tracking for late next year, it is still theoretically possible that it and the G82 M4 will launch at the same time or nearly the same time. It would mean a quick turnaround from the G22 4 Series to the G82 M4, but that is not unlikely given that the F82 followed the F32 by just a few months, and the gap could easily close even more this generation.
