I don't know if anyone has seen this yet...as part of the release and marketing of the new e90, they've been showing the progression of the 3 series. If you go here (http://www.bmwusa.com/BMW2003/Templates/MicroSiteHandlerNew3.aspx?NRMODE=Published&NRORIGINALURL=%2fVehicles%2ffuturevehicles%2fnew3% 2fdefault%2ehtm%3fsource%3d3sharper&NRNODEGUID=%7bF446C022-6564-4244-8D0C-C379EC26D2A4%7d&NRCACHEHINT=Guest&source=3faste&bhcp=1 )
and click Explore the All New 3 Series, then click Heritage and then the E21 era.
They made a nice video about our cars.
Otherwise you can download directly from http://www.bmwtransact.com/microsite/new3/Downloads/Video/3Series_Icon.zip
FYI, its 280mb.

Ah, the 280mb one is much longer (22 min) than the one that is shown on the website. It includes segments on the '02s, E21s, E30s, E36,E46, and E90 and a segment on BMW Motorsports.
I like the segments on the 02s, E21s and teh Motorsports :buttrock . I was surprised they didn't discuss the M3's much, but it isn't necessarily aimed at enthuiasts.

Awesome video, just let the 02 guys see it, boy with they get a big head.
One thing that did bother me is that they referred to the 02 as the 3 series, wasnt the 320i the first? Anyways, i liked it and was well made, especially when they talked about the 320i turbo :buttrock :buttrock

I enjoyed it very much. I would consider the 2002 a 3 series. just not as good as the e21 3 series. :D

That was a very well put together time-lined documentary.
