Unfortunately I cannot compare. I did drive once a friends BMW M2 but this does not compare. It depends which engines you are comparing. I don't think that there is for example much difference between the engine in a 220i (> 2016), the F30 320i (> 2015) and the G20 320i to give an example. I know someone who has a chiptuned F30 320i (I believe from 2017) with more HP and torque than the new G20 330i. I am certainly not recommending chiptuning but it is just to illustrate that these I4 engines are actually very good engines maybe even one of the best 4 cilinder engines in the world.
Don't forget that the 2 series received a lot of positive reviews on its agility, handling, …
I think that if you own a 2 series that you should test drive the G20 and if you believe that the G20 is the better car and you can get a good deal you can still consider 'upgrading' your car but unfortunately I cannot compare.
