From the G80's pronounced wheel arch flares we know for sure that the G8X track is a lot wider than the G20's.
If the G22 will have a track closer to the G8X rather than the G20 that's a plus for the G22 not a minus for the G82.

Exactly! ...and with regards to your final statement, that would fall perfectly in line with the F3X vs F8X. The F32 is closer in width/track to the F8X than the F30 is. That's why the F8X is only 2" wider than the F32 coupe, but it is 3" wider than the F30 sedan. So if a similar approach holds true for the G20/22 vs G8X, it will be a similar approach to what BMW took with the previous generation cars.
