Doesn't make sense to me. Imagine the current F8x M3/M4 was called a E9x (Yes I realize the previous M3 were the E9x). I'm just curious why they are calling it an "F" chassis still if its based on the new "G" chassis?
Can anyone explain?

I don't think there is any reason you can judge based on the solid fact.
The current 5 series and M5 have the same chassis code of F10.
The same with 6 series and M6 (F12/F13/F06) but in case of 3 series the regular one is F3x while the M car is F8x. I believe at some point BMW changed the rule and now they have to fill the "F" while the last "F" is F8x for M2/M3/M4/X5M/X6M and the next available should be F9x that can be M5/M6 ... BUT you never know if they change it at last minute
