Unfortunately, small BMWs in the past have always lead the design language, it is only Chris Bangle's E65/6 that a change of language have not been introduced on the small BMWs.
Looking back, it is the BMW 1500 & 2002 that leads the 1st gen 5er & the CS coupes. Then comes the E30 which leads the E32/4. After that the E36 leads the E38/9 etc. etc. until the E65.
