Evolve Project G87 M2

Imran@Evolve · 08-02-2023, 10:58 AM

Following on from our F87 M2 project we are excited to get started on the G87 platform now that our car has finally arrived.

For those of you that haven't seen our F87 (which we still have) I'll drop some pictures below.

So our G87 has some big boots to fill! Here it is:

Brooklyn Grey
M Race Track Package - CF Roof, CF Bucket Seats, CF Seats
930 Bi-Colour Wheels
AT

Initial thoughts:

The design is initially challenging but I'm sure with a few tweaks it will start going together. I love how wide the arches are. Pretty insane for a factory car.

Interior is a huge upgrade from the F87 as its now 3 series based rather than 1 series based.

The car is a hoot to drive. Different character to the G82 M4 despite the shared running gear. Feels half way in between a M4 and a M4 CSL. Full driving review coming to YouTube soon.

Looking forward to making it ours!

Great photos can’t wait for your full review 😊and to see what you have in store ……..

Matt@Evolve · 08-02-2023, 02:26 PM

Excited for this one, certainly some big boots to fill though.

Can't wait to see what EVOLVE does with this new M2.

That's a really bold statement. Really looking forward to the review.

Can't wait to see it!

Let's goooooo!!

First little change. Improved stance with some Evolve springs and spacers. Of course I will end up with a more sophisticated set up but this is to show whats possible with just a spring change.

That looks great. What size spacers did you use?

Looking forward to see what you do with this G87 M2. And I fully agree about the lower center front bumper pice. Body color matching that area looks substantially more cohesive from a pure "proper exterior design cues" perspective.

Imran@Evolve · 08-06-2024, 04:54 AM

Collating all the work done to the car in this thread. Biggest visual change is happening as we speak so excited to share that when its done.

M4 CSL retrofit

TRE Body Kit

600 BHP tune only

Eventuri intake, Eisenmann Exhaust and CSF cooling

Nurburgring Trip

Misha sure know that track well & is a superb driver. That M2, despite the shorter than M3 wheelbase, looks pretty composed there.

As I impatiently wait for my Brooklyn grey G87 to be built and arrive, I can’t wait to see more content from evolve with their identical to my g87.
I trust their insight and technical knowledge on M cars above any other YouTuber!
