If, like me, you’ve been a Subaru Impreza nut for the past few years, then you may well have heard of the US-based magazine, Subiesport.
Well, since the magazine’s sad demise, its owner – and performance car evangelist – Ryan Douthit has turned to other ventures, great videos being one of them.
His latest project, Driving Sports, is one of the best ways to keep up with performance cars and tuning, and although heavily biased to the States, car fans over here can still find plenty to enjoy and that includes the latest instalment – BMW 135is in the wet.

While vehicles that comply with Euro 4 norms can still circulate freely on days when traffic restrictions might be in place for pollution reduction measures, we can be assured that this trend to cleaner and more efficient cars will only continue.
