That Buick thing is a bad comparison. 228i and M325i can be spec'd to be pretty much equal in all but the motor. It all comes down to what people think is a better value to them. 228i gives you better mileage and is sufficient for people who are OK with less torque. I switched from a e46 330i and the 228i gives little to no difference in power so I don't think I'd be satisfied with the 228i. When I priced out 228i vs M235i I found I can get 33% more power for 9.5% more $$$, I find the M235i to be the better value.
