I'd post this in the general discussion forum for the G42, so you get more "eyes" on your post and more responses.
Coming from an SS with 455hp, you'll definitely feel a difference with the 230i and likely some difference with the 240i.
I chose the 230i M sport, but not X-drive. With 295 lb/ft of torque, the B48 motor feels quick with the 255hp, but certainly doesn't have the pull of the B58 or your SS. However, for a daily driver, it excels and getting 30 mpg while still driving the car enthusiastically is a huge bonus.
Of course, what you need to do is go drive a 230 and a 240 and decide for yourself.
Good luck,
Bill
