2014 BMW 3-Series Summary

Still king, but many are gunning for the crown.
 (5 Stars)  Reviewed by Motor Trend          
Vehicle Overview
The 3 Series range has always offered a little something for everyone. But with the 2014 3 Series, that might be truer than ever. Though the lineup loses coupe and convertible models to the 4 Series nameplate, the 2014 BMW 3 Series still offers three body styles and multiple drivetrain combinations.
A new entry-level model, the 320i, features a detuned version of the 328i's turbocharged 2.0-liter I-4 producing 180 hp and 200 lb-ft of torque. Content is reduced for the 320i, but as we found, the driving experience is similar to the more powerful 328i. That car sports a 240-hp, 255-lb-ft turbocharged 2.0-liter I-4. Both the 320i and 328i are available with either an eight-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission, though xDrive all-wheel-drive models only come with an automatic. The 320i is EPA-rated at 24/36 mpg city/highway with the automatic, 23/36 mpg with the manual, and 23/35 mpg in all-wheel-drive trim. The 328i achieves 23/35 mpg with the automatic, 22/34 mpg with the manual, and 22/33 mpg when all-wheel drive is selected.            
The 335i sedan produces 300 hp and 300 lb-ft from BMW's venerable turbocharged 3.0-liter I-6. That engine, which carried over from the previous generation, performs even better in the new model, as we said in a review of the 2012 BMW 335i, "Forget the last 335i. This new one actually accelerates at the same pace as the 320-horse, 332 lb-ft 335is -- the one with two turbos and a fast-shifting twin-clutch transmission. Our mere automatic 2012 335i, down a turbo and supposedly 20 horsepower and 32 lb-ft, reached 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and the quarter mile in 13.3 sec at 103.9 mph. That's right on pace with a Camaro SS, assuming it's driven well." The turbo I-6 isn't bad on fuel economy either, with the eight-speed auto-equipped model rated at 22/32 mpg, and rear-drive models with the six-speed manual and xDrive all-wheel-drive models with either transmission rated at 20/30 mpg.
The above models may make up the bulk of 3 Series sales, but the variants are what keep BMW's niche customers happy. The 2014 3 Series is also offered as a diesel, hybrid, wagon, and funky Gran Turismo hatchback. Both 3 Series wagon and 3 Series Gran Turismo models only come in all-wheel drive, and each offers its own unique cargo solution. The wagon boasts the more traditional layout, and offers 27 cubic-feet behind the rear seats, and 66 cubic-feet with the seats folded down. The Sports Wagon is offered with the turbocharged 2.0-liter I-4, rated at 22/33 mpg, or a new 2.0-liter turbodiesel I-4 producing 180 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque rated at 31/43 mpg. That diesel mill is also available in the sedan, rated at 32/45 mpg for rear-drive 328d models and 31/43 mpg for xDrive models. All 3 Series diesel models are paired exclusively to the eight-speed auto. If the wagon body style isn't your cup of tea, the larger Gran Turismo might be a better fit for you. That model features a power liftgate that opens two ways to access the cargo area, which can be expanded by folding down the standard 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats. Those seats offer more legroom compared to the standard 3 Series, along with more headroom thanks to a taller roof. The 3 Series GT is available with either the turbocharged 2.0-liter I-4 or turbocharged 3.0-liter I-6, which come rated at 22/33 mpg and 20/30 mpg, respectively. The eight-speed automatic is the only transmission offered. For those who want all the performance of the 335i, but better fuel economy, BMW offers the ActiveHybrid3. That car boasts the same turbocharged 3.0-liter I-6 as the 335i, but also gets an electric motor to boost total system output to 335 hp while also raising efficiency to 25/33 mpg. Like all 3 Series models equipped with the eight-speed automatic, the ActiveHybrid3 features a start-stop function and regenerative braking.
Most models come standard with faux-leather upholstery, with genuine leather offered as an option. Interior trim options vary depending on which of the three trim lines are selected. Those include Sport Line, Luxury Line, and M Sport. Bluetooth connectivity is standard on all models, as is a USB slot and BMW's updated iDrive system and 6.5-inch display. A navigation system is available, along with a head-up display, heated front and rear seats, rearview camera, and parking sensors.
The 2014 BMW 3 Series sedan earned a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, and is considered at Top Safety Pick by IIHS with scores of Good for all tests except the new small overlap front crash test. Sports Wagon and Gran Turismo models have not yet been tested.

Scion FR-S with Iss Forged Blonix 19" Wheels and Hankook Tires

Brand New Scion FR-S rocking a set of 19" Staggered ISS Forged Blonix M/8 wheels and wraped with Hankook Evo tires.



2013 Scion FR-S

The rear-wheel-drive sports coupe delivers on its promise.


The U.S.-market sister ship to the Subaru BRZ, the Scion FR-S, will go on sale this spring. It is an unusual car for parent company Toyota, or at least the Toyota of late. Before the creation of the FR-S, Akio Toyoda (president of Toyota and grandson of the company’s founder) asked himself, “Where is the passion in our lineup? I want to build a sports car.”
The Scion FR-S is that sports car. (It also will be sold across the globe as the Toyota GT 86 or simply 86.) Much has been made about the collaboration with Subaru. Toyota claims credit for the car’s existence and the idea itself, which is in direct opposition to what Subaru told us. Fight! Fight! Toyota says chief engineer Tetsuya Tada’s original concept called for a front-engined sports car with rear-wheel drive. Inspired by the rear-drive Corolla of the ’80s that became the darling of drifters, the new sports car would be light, agile, and affordable. After some internal resistance within Toyota and Subaru, a prototype was built in late 2007 using a Subaru flat-four and rear-wheel drive. The prototype changed minds; by early 2008, a sports-car program was born.
Toyota readily admits the lion’s share of the development was done by Subaru. However, according to Toyota, plans and objectives came from its engineers and were merely executed by Subaru’s team. (There’s that contradiction again.) For example, the all-new platform and chassis are from Subaru. Toyota made contributions along the way, such as adding its eight-injector direct and port fuel injection to Subaru’s 2.0-liter flat-four. Making the car attractive fell to Toyota. The greenhouse is a homage to the Toyota 2000GT of the 1960s; the nose hints at the Lexus LFA supercar. Squint a little while eyeing the FR-S, and cars like the Supra and Celica come to mind, too. Assembly of the FR-S and BRZ is Subaru’s responsibility. A peek under the Scion’s hood reveals the “Subaru” name atop the intake manifold alongside Toyota’s.
Comparing Apples and Softer Apples
When asked how the two cars differ, the Scion folks tell us the BRZ is about stability and the FR-S is about agility. The word “understeer” has surfaced in initial reports on the Subaru BRZ. The Scion doesn’t understeer. Its cornering balance is neutral—bravely neutral for a car that will be sold to young buyers. Scion claims the only changes to its chassis are slightly softer springs and stiffer dampers.
Scion has certainly succeeded in making the FR-S agile. From the quick steering to the alert chassis, the FR-S responds to driver input in a way that reminds us of the Honda S2000. Holding the stability control button for three seconds removes the safety net. Although the chassis is neutral, it will slide should you turn the wheel abruptly or stomp on the gas mid-turn. Lift in the middle of a corner, and the rear end will step right out on you. It doesn’t do so in an “I’m going to ruin your life” sort of way; it seems more to say, “Hey, you sure you know what you’re doing?” In low-speed corners, power oversteer is easy to achieve. The tail swings predictably and delicately. The low weight—we estimate about 2800 pounds—means the FR-S regains its composure without any drama. Akio Toyoda says of the FR-S, “[It] responds to good driving skills.” If you don’t have them, you might want to get some training—or leave the stability control on. Young drivers whom Scion courts should know the FR-S is nothing like the front-drive, nearly error-proof tC. If you don’t know what you’re doing behind the wheel, the FR-S will make you look dumb.
Compared with modern sports cars, the FR-S’s 215/45-17 tires are skinny. There isn’t a huge amount of grip, but what’s there breaks away gradually. We asked Tada about the tires, and he told us, “They are Prius tires.” You might think he’s joking, but he’s not. The Michelin Primacy HP tires are identical to those in the Prius’s optional Plus Performance package, right down to the compound and construction. Although they don’t provide the stickiness we’ve come to expect from modern sport machinery, the relative slipperiness gives the FR-S a lively, playful feel. So, although it might not have incredibly high limits, its lower threshold is accessible and exploitable. If you want more grip, though, it’s easy to attain by swapping for more aggressive footwear.
Flat Engine, Low Center of Gravity
Scion makes it a point to brag about the FR-S’s low center of gravity, and a lot of the car’s liveliness is indeed likely due to the location of much of its mass. The flat-four sits low in the engine compartment, and even though Subaru stresses how far back the engine is compared with those in other Subies, it’s still surprisingly far forward. The transmission, a six-speed automatic or a six-speed manual, is right behind the engine, preventing it from being mounted farther back. A transaxle would allow for the engine to be placed more to the rear and would better balance weight distribution, but transaxles cost a lot of money, especially ones made specifically for one car. The transmissions in the FR-S are Aisin gearboxes that are similar to the six-speed units found in the Lexus IS. The manual shifts with a solid, no-nonsense feel. This is a great gearbox, one that should rally the “Save the Manuals” faithful. Although the manual suits the character of the FR-S better, the optional automatic with paddle shifters is a responsive and quick-shifting ally. On the track, the automatic proved clever enough to perform downshifts before entering a corner.
Subaru’s flat-four engine still gives off a bit of the characteristic boxer thrum at lower rpm. Above 6000 rpm and to the 7400-rpm redline, though, the four begins its chain-saw impersonation. It’s a bit uncouth, but it feels and sounds like a machine with purpose. On paper, and in the face of the ever-escalating pony-car horsepower war, the FR-S’s 200 hp might seem inadequate. It’s not. We’re guessing at a 0-to-60 time just a shade over six seconds. Clearly, this isn’t a car that should pull up to stoplights with much ambition. This is a car for playing on back roads, for track work; engaged in those pursuits, the engine feels perfectly strong and nicely matched to the chassis.
Every part in the FR-S works harmoniously. Sure, we might switch to a grippier tire, but the lower-grip rubber allows for accessible explorations of the FR-S’s behavior at the limit. That is the sort of exploration that makes driving fun. Just remember to bring some skill.
