Looking at them side by side you can see a direct lineage:
2002 -> e30 -> e46 -> e82

I'd like to see an e46 there but couldn't find a picture.

Pics are from this article re: M2 vs BMWs of old.

Thanks for those photos. Always lovely to see the E30 and 2002 Turbo alongside the 1M! Much of the increased size of modern cars in photos can be attributed to the monstrously large wheels on modern cars. If someone put 15 inch wheels on the 1er it would look even closer in size to its ancestors.
Found a good e46 & 135i photo
