The more aggressive and blockier design makes for a larger appearing car. Take from that what you will.
Code:
E46                                  E90 -5mm average deviation from E46
Wheelbase 2,720 mm    Wheelbase 2,760 mm +40mm
Length	4,490 mm        Length   4,520 mm +30mm
Width	1,810 mm        Width	    1,780 mm -30mm
Height	1,440 mm        Height    1,380 mm -60mm
                                
F30                                  G20 +39.5mm average deviation from F10
Wheelbase 2,810 mm    Wheelbase	2,851 mm +41mm
Length       4,620 mm       Length       4,709 mm +89mm
Width        1,811 mm        Width	       1,827 mm +16mm
Height       1,430 mm        Height       1,442 mm +12mm
You quoted E46 width including mirrors and E90 without. Also I don’t think height is anything to do with perceived size.
