Actually, the M3 has the same head lights and tail lights as the 3 series. It is true that the E90 M3 shares the front end with the E92 (and E93) M3, and thus has different headlights from the E90 3 series. This was for cost savings - one front end for all M3s. But there is no chance this will happen with the M5 since there is no possible way BMW can use the same front end for the M5 and M6 for example - they are too different from one another compared to the M3 sedan vs the M3 coupe. Not to mention the new F1x M6 - or 6 series for that matter - are not even close to production yet.
Also, the M3 did not get the front end changes, including head lights, that the 3 series coupe did. More cost savings. But originally they did indeed share the same headlights.
