Haven't driven that one but we did have the 220 for a while although to be honest I forget what is was like as have had a z4, m4 and the m340i since. The g42 is a more grown up car and I appreciate the extra power and torque of the 230 over the 220.
The big difference over the m340i is much better turn-in and it doesn't feel as remote to drive either.
The m340i was a big disappointment to me. Very fast, very comfortable but no engagement, hence the realisation I needed to revert back to a manual so I could enjoy driving at legal road speeds. Hitting a flappy paddle doesn't do it for me on the road, even in the dct m4.
A manual m340i...now that would be a very different story as would a manual 230!
