I know they could never just release a random bizarre design that goes against the rest of the line but it would be interesting.
I think this is objectively cool, if not everyone's cup of tea. Its not like anyone at the time liked the way the 1 actually turned out anyway.

An element of nostalgia would be lost on most for this to be popular. I’ll guess the 1r has a following that 20yrs from now could have a renewed interest.
When admiring M3 e30’s or e21 323’s I see the precursor more then 2002’s. I’d dislike future admirers to look at my 1r as a BMW PT Cruiser ish. I think if BMW releases this 02 retro in 2007 it would have less of a following now and once the novelty wears off it’s A punchline.
