Apparently BMW thinks people who like small cars don't care about performance.
We don't know that the G20 will be larger than an F30. For certain, the G20 will be lighter.

I think you're overestimating the market for E46 sedan-size high-performance market. I would guess this new 2-series sedan will end up with a 300hp version, but of course nothing on the level of M2/M3. It's simply a demand-driven market. Yes, people are demanding sedans bigger than the E36, and want more room than an E91 had. Wish is why M3s are as big as they are, and the next X3M/X4M will be hot sellers for BMW.
