Having a BMW I've found is almost like having a girlfriend. When I left mine for some body work because this guy plowed into me his fault, she was away for almost two weeks, I had never been more itchy to drive her, irritable, very mad about the wreck even though it had been a month, and was just always yearning to get back to my car.

BMW has 2 levels of traction control (dsc, tc). You have to hold the button for a couple seconds for both systems to be defeated, which they didn't do :/
I dont think its a good Idea to turn tc fully off on a wet track...specially if it has an open diff. My m140i on track in the wet with fully tc off would just go sideways.
I have an 2009 legacy GTL and that thing is fuuuuun and super quick. With a slightly larger turbo, tune, and the right tires they can easily keep up with an M3 on the track. One issue they have if you want to track day it is the suspension leans to more of a softer comfortable ride then a stiff sporty one.
E46 M3 FTW! Not really a fair fight, the JDM cars were not on the same level (an failmatic Aristo?), and the only real competitor was the M5. Tsukaba is too tight and short of a track for the M5.
I own a Legacy GT and a 330- the 330 is supposed to be the track car, but the couple times I've taken the Subaru on track, I've been impressed by the times it puts down despite not being very nimble. The AWD hooks out of the corners much faster than RWD with an open diff. No chance against the M3 though, which is a more balanced car.
The Accord R and the Accord Euro R (6th gen) run an H22A7 high performance engine. That variant was never found in the Prelude (H22A8). The K20 was introduced in the 7th gen.
i have a feeling that the japanese drivers didnt do as well as they could have in the german cars, i've seen some dodgy shifting and some poor lines :/
Please stop talking bad about the E39 M5. I have a few M5’s (multiple generations) parked in my garage at the moment. I can tell you without a doubt the video does not do the M5 any justice.
Am I the only one that thinks Tsukuba is one of most uninteresting tracks? Hated it in racing games. Only thing it is good for is for drifting, otherwise, slow and boring track.
it's a tiny course with a lot of slow speed corners. None of these older videos show reality on most race courses around the world, much less longer than 3-5 laps. Tsukuba is a poor course for seeing what normal cars can do on a racing circuit. It's a full size sedan which was massive for the time, compared to the small sedans it's racing it still did really well considering the horrible start and wet track. Would be comical to drive one of those cars today vs the M5 today, that's assuming they're still running.
Tsukuba is short, very twisty and in this case wet, Best Motoring is well known for it's JDM bias aswell. That being said, the M5 is no track car, it is heavy. Give it a more open track and would be a different story.
That version of Legacy in Japan was a proper sports sedan. We didn't get a fast versions of the Legacy in North America with the exception of the 1st and 4th generation. However, up to the 4th generation the rest of the world got really fast Subaru Legacys. The first generation Legacy still holds the 100 000 km FIA endurance record with an average speed of about 139 mph over some 400 plus hours. Colin McRae won his first WRC event in a Subaru Legacy. It's more of the Legacy being better in the rest of the world than the sucky ones we got in North America.

You probably lucked out. Maintenance is a nightmare when they get older unless you're a BMW mechanic.
Aristo was the dark horse here, monster 2JZ crippled with factory restrictions
Would have been interesting to see it unleashed from the stock traction control and VSC, and with a proper LSD instead of the open one.
