I don't see that type of allure with regards to the E46 ZHP. I think they were great cars (had one new myself), but they weren't overwhelmingly better than the competition.
Mechanically the E46 had a lot of annoying weak spots. One other thing is that Navigation became an option and I don't know how the classic car market will react to a 20 yr old NAV system.
It'll be interesting to see how the classic car market reacts to the tech heavy, forced induction vehicles.

I think older BMW fans might argue the 2002 did what you said. Or (shudder) the E21. That started the whole Yuppie BMW thing
But I certainly agree with your last statement. Which is why I bought a 2013 128i 6sp M-sport. The last of everything we used to like. And all for the price of a not-so-nice E30 with a rubber-band engine these days. No thanks. I like the ZHP, but build quality on an E46 is sketchy. I prefer my E39, though I often question that and want to simply restore my E34.
