I think the use of a BMW was tat unfair, especially in the handling department, where nobody was probably familiar with violent oversteer which at that time less under control. They could also have taken a Peugeot 405 or a similar car and probably the effects would have been less impressive.
But yes, there is technical progress, which unfortunately is always electronically controlled, whereby one simple malfunction/shortcut in the system can turn the car into a lethal missile when that happens at speed.
