For us old heads they are nice cars but don't "feel" like BMWs, they drive like cars from any other major luxury brand. What differentiates BMWs anymore from everybody else?
G20 is way sportier compared to C class and A4. I mean there is no comparison...
Have you driven the C43? I've driven the C300 and C43 and the two are completely different beasts. A 330i is most definitely better dynamically than the C300 which aims towards the typical Merc buyer of a very nice and quiet luxury car, but the C43 is very playful and dynamic car making it very enjoyable to drive, although it is a bit stiff, but I would consider it stiff competition for the M340i.
