I believe he has mentioned it, yes. And that's great, but he mentions a lot of things in passing that don't come to be. So, until we have some corroborating evidence, we'll treat his comments as speculative.

Yep. You are missing the fact that:
430i GC ~= 330i
M440i GC ~= M340i
And yet all those models still exist.
So then, an M4 GC and M3 could also coexist. However, as I mentioned in my first post, this should be treated as wild rumor until we hear of evidence from known-to-be-reliable inside sources or see mules.
With the dual motor ~520hp i4 coming as a flagship for the G26 lineup, it's not clear that an M4 GC would be in BMW's best interests.
