As the year draws to a close, myself and the team at Evolve would like to extend our sincere thanks for your continued support and trust in Evolve throughout the past year.
When the E9x M3 came out BMW was still using a single piston brake caliper. Come the next generation of M3 the base option was a 4+2 pot setup from Brembo, which not only gave much improved braking performance but also looked far better.
Over the years we've tried hundreds of different styles of exhausts on various different cars, so it's pretty rare that we try something out thats truly new to us.
Hard track usage will always put more strain on many of the components of a car, so today we're fitting a couple of new parts from MMX to help upgrade our M2 'CSL' and keep it performing its best as the mileage rises.
It's hard to believe the E9x M3 is now 18 years old, and age isn't stopping new products being released! Milltek have just launched a brand new valved exhaust utilising the latest in OEM valve technology to give our beloved S65 the duality it needs to be quiet when you want it and unleash that glorious V8 sound when you want to get the full BMW M experience.
Over the last 6 months since our last full update Dan has been hard at work delving deep in to the code and putting thousands of development miles on to achieve our dream of a full OEM functionality swap all without modifying the S85 DME or DCT TCU.
The new G90 M5 may weigh as much as an SUV but for some reason BMW decided to give it an arch gap to match. Let's be honest it sort of kills the aggressive super saloons looks, not to mention you'll need to check for your neighbours cat sat on the tyre each morning.
It's the moment we've all been waiting for! Our 1M clone has been strapped down to a dyno to see just how much power the P65b44 from a Z4 GT3 car is really making.
They say a project is never truly finished, and after building our ultimate fast road E92 M3 we couldn't help but feel like a few things were missing...
If there's one department the G90 M5 falls short on it's definitely sound - The car may have 717hp thanks to the twin turbo V8 and hybrid motors but it doesn't sound like it has even half that!
