This isn’t accurate since we know that the base models - the G22/G23 - also have the large vertical grill.
It is true that the designers wanted the M models to be even more distinct this time. This is why the kidneys take on a different shape from the 4 Series models they are based on and feature a separated design rather than the two siamese-d elements. In fact, then, size is arguably the property by which the two are the most similar.
