For reference I plan on only getting it in manual. I'm also open to the M sport 440i with X drive.
Any comments or opinions would be really appreciated!

Hey man, I own a 2017 230i xDrive and it is a really underrated car. There are very few cars on the road that can keep up with its quick acceleration and transition through turns. I have owned an Audi S3 and it was average in comparison to the 230i. Additionally, I have been driving the G20 330i loaner the past 2 days and that is not the move either. The drive quality is smooth but is way too big and makes the 2 series feel like an M2. Before the 330i loaner, I had a 440i xDrive for one day and the car was similar to the 2020 330i with a lot more power and similar handling ability to the 2 series, but really lacks the snappiness and diverse drive the 2 series offers. Overall, you would have to beat me with a baseball bat with nails in it to get me to trade my car for either option.
