The BMW M3 is a high-performance version of the BMW 3 Series, developed by BMW's in-house motorsport division, BMW M GmbH. M3 models have been produced for every generation of 3 Series since the E30 M3 was introduced in 1986.
The BMW M4 is a high-performance version of the BMW 4 Series automobile developed by BMW's motorsport division, BMW M, that has been built since 2014. As part of the renumbering that splits the coupé and convertible variants of the 3 Series into the 4 Series, the M4 replaced those variants of the BMW M3. Official website: BMW M

If you're referring to the M3 as in S54 powered, it has been done before, quite a few times infact, the most notably by Rogue Engineering:

I think this bas been the dream of many enthusiasts who loved the E46 M3 but wanted something more practical. I certainly would love to have one of these cars!!
In 2000, BMW invited a group of automotive journalists from all over the world to Munich for the presentation of the new M3. Among the production models was a prototype of the M3 Touring, created as part of a feasibility study.
Although the journalists present at the test drive almost all spoke positively about the M3 Touring, the reviews of customers already owning BMW cars were much more restrained. BMW concluded that there was no significant market for such a car. Only the coupe and convertible made it to series production.
Years later, many dreamed of owning such a car, and several projects were built. The company Petroyle went further and will release a limited series of exclusive hand-assembled cars.
All body panels of the M3 Touring are made primarily of carbon fiber, including the rear bumper, side skirts, the trunk floor, and the front fenders. The side panels will remain steel, and customers can choose a front bumper and roof made of carbon fiber.
In addition to an exact recreation of the prototype, each Petroyle M3 Touring is fully customizable to individual needs. Customers can choose the body color, interior trim materials, as well as the configuration of the engine and transmission, including the possibility of installing M-engines V8 and V10.

BMW M GmbH, formerly known as BMW Motorsport GmbH, is a subsidiary of
BMW AG that manufactures high-performance luxury cars. BMW M ("M" for "motorsport")
was initially created to facilitate BMW's racing program, which was very successful
in the 1960s and 1970s. As time passed, BMW M began to supplement BMW's vehicle
portfolio with specially modified higher trim models, for which they are now most
known by the general public. These M-badged cars traditionally include modified engines,
transmissions, suspensions, interior trims, aerodynamics, and exterior modifications
to set them apart from their counterparts. All M models are tested and tuned at BMW's
private facility at the Nürburgring racing circuit in Germany.
