I tried but head hits the glass and knees don't clear. And the car is a lot heavier, it's just strange what they did here...

The reason for this is obvious, but it's still a shame. The F22 had to a share a platform with its 1-series hatch brothers, and thus gained the reasonable backseat and bubbly proportions of those cars. Now that the 1-series is on a transverse platform, they were free to squeeze the backseat area and stretch that dash-axle gap. It's really unfortunate; although the F22 could've done with a shorter greenhouse and less upright back glass, those traits are also what make it a genuine sedan substitute. That's no longer the case with the G42.
TL;DR: none of this matters, one has a stick and one doesn't
