The 2er Coupe is said to be based more on the Z4 (but enlarged between the b- and c pillars) than the 3er/4er, though all are on the CLAR RWD platform.

Yep fair point on the Mini platform, not really a car I care too much about, so I don't pay much attention to it!
The point being this new G42 is off the same component set as the 3 & 4, which as you say is effectively what the Z4 is underneath (like previous gen Z3s & 4S before it) rather than being related to the 1 & 2GC.
