Nah dude.
The BMW 230i is the closest. 2-door and small with a 4-banger that can be connected to the rear wheels via a manual transmission.
G20 3-series has a wheelbase an inch longer than the 7 series had when the E30 was in production. Granted, if you ordered the 7-series with the biggest/heaviest engine, it was
almost as heavy as the G20.
The 230i is too big as well, but it is very similar in power and size to the E36 M3.
