It will without a doubt remain quirky cool in its own right.

I will admit I've never driven a 1M. Have driven N54 135i, at the time I was not impressed compared to Z4M. I'm sure the 1M is much closer than that, but I can't help but think it's possibly overrated. The E8x 1er chassis was really bouncy / snappy and not that progressive. The E85/86 Z4M was not exactly BMW's finest hour either, but you hit understeer earlier and S54 was less likely to get you in trouble with torque.
I also think the E8x 1er is pretty ugly in general. The 1M elevates that status to an acquired taste, as you note
