Do you think two scoops of ice cream is "better" than one scoop, or just more?

Again you're letting your subjective feelings override objective metrics. Just because you don't value something, does not mean it is not important. But whatever floats your boat.

An individuals rationale to purchase a vehicle with "more" options (not better options) or "less" options, based on their unique requirements is the "subjective" factor, here, though. Which I think the others are trying to separate from the "better" argument, earlier..

In the end it all comes down to driving what works for you and your likes and your money. We all have reasons for what we do. If you are driving someone that you think is better than someone else then who cares why they chose what you thought was lesser. Get over yourself if that's your thought process. No one cares. Like others have mentioned in this discussion before, I also seem to be able to out drive some higher HP, "better" cars at my local road course. In the right hands, the 228i has plenty of merit.

I think you need to revisit your dictionary of amateur philosophy. When discussing a subjective decision, it IS about what YOU value, so what you do not value is not important. You have fallen into the classic error of reasoning from your own perspective - you do note that "I know for a fact that I'm not going to be happy with a 228i/230i" so you are acknowledging that you are making your own subjective decision, then rationalizing it. Saying "all things being equal, better #'s is a better car" is a sophistic trick, because those 'other' things will never be equal - not even the ones that you personally value. Your insight about overcompensating for that small penis does earn you a few philosophy bonus points, however .

Y0tsuya : I'm an editor by trade. Your definition of 'objective' is actually subjective because your criteria for objectivity is based on your biases. As Sportstick noted: two scoops of ice cream sure as hell ain't mo' bettah than one to a diabetic. That said, even raw statistics -- on their face, objective -- can be interpreted subjectively. That is the essence of the term 'spin doctoring'. For instance, someone who values 0-60 times might consider a Dodge Hellcat a better car than, say, an M2 that could run circles around a Hellcat on a road course. YMMV. And, so, we have 'fake news': facts (and some non-truths) twisted to serve subjective ends. If you're gonna drink the Kool-Aid, make sure it's not a flavor most others don't like, ya know?

When discussing semantics, I find it's quite beneficial to keep the root of the term front of mind: 'antic'.

You're ignoring the fact that one car offers 30% more HP while "suffers" 2% more weight up front. And like you can totally feel that, man. I felt many thing different when moving from my E46 330i to the M235i. Balance is not one of them. |

No, it's proof of expertise. Discount it all you want. I've done it at a high level professionally for 27 years. You can't argue with that objective fact.
If you want, I'll be happy to send you a link to my LinkedIn profile. Then you can shut up for good. Quote:

Yes because it's been totally proven that the M240i can't hold rubber to the road. Keep up the exaggeration and mental gymnastics without numbers to back you up, mr editor. |

Does having fewer cylinders make a modern engine more reliable or would a 4 and 6 cylinder engine coming from the same car maker be equally reliable/unreliable?
