The E30 came in a 2-door sedan, 4-door sedan, 4-door wagon, 2-door convertible, and the M3. In E30 period, BMW produced a 3-series, 5-series, 6-series Coupe, 7-series, and the 8-series Coupe (at the very end).

I believe the production numbers comparison is to show the potential future collectibility of 1 series models. Many E30s have been produced, and they have developed even more of a collectible/cult status as of late. With even fewer 1ers being produced, it's possible we may see a similar trend in the future.
