Classical and elegant in the sense of the M3 having the same profile as a generic 320d, which was designed to look good while comfortably carrying people around with cabin room and a useful trunk, i.e. a conservative elegant sedan design in a user-friendly package (which has been the whole point of most M cars, at least up until now, being M versions of regular cars instead of standalone exotic supercars). Throwing in sportier bumpers, larger wheels and a few vents here and there does not fundamentally change the profile's proportions from 320d to M3, which is why an M3 profile looks great with large wheels indeed but preferrably same diameter
