BMW’s strength was always in small, practical coupes/sedans that compete in performance with sportier cars, and the 1M is really the only BMW M to carry on that tradition since the E30. The M2 is the closest thing there is currently, but it still feels big and dead compared to an E82 (I’ve not driven the Competition version, yet, though.)

I don't agree with your assessment of the Z. Have actually driven the Z3M/Z4M? It's almost nostalgic to think about how wild some of these cars were as compared to today's civilized/isolated M lineups. Here's a comparison done (vs. Boxster S) by TopGear.
