I always thought that you see more of the car you're driving, but so far the F30 has been the exception for me. That's not to say it's not a popular model, because it is.

I've noticed more older gen 3 series, with most of the newer BMWs being 5 series, M cars, and X series.

I think many BMW enthusiasts are going for older cars or slightly up market. Those looking for new cars in the F30 price range today who aren't already BMW enthusiasts will be giving other brands a good look.
I can't cite to ratios, so I don't know about 5/1, but I think there's 10-12 F30s in my neighborhood. My prior car was a Lexus IS250--there were *maybe* 3 of those, of ANY generation, while I owned mine, in the same neighborhood. I don't keep as close track of A4s, but I do not think there's as many.
