Actually, it's exactly the opposite. Test mules re-use parts from existing cars all the time.

That said, I don't see any reason why BMW would use a different wheel in the M3. Literally all M cars and M Sport cars use the same basic wheel. The M cars have some small modifications, of course, but that's it. I am surprised that people are surprised. I thought it was a forgone conclusion that the M3 would use the same wheel as the M5 and M8.
