For Z4M owners waited a llllooooommmnggggg time, a few weeks is nothing. Thanks again beta!!

Your welcome! I'm excited to get the tune, been waiting on it since I got euro headers.

Haha yes, now please stop rubbing it in! As the rest of us have to wait as we're not in Lebanon

For everyone else, the first units will probably not start shipping until next week, so please hang tight and they will get to you. I will keep you guys updated as I receive updates myself.

I don't mean to speak for beta, since he is the one organizing this group buy. I just wanted to relay the information I got from both Imran@Evolve at Jamie@RKAutowerks.

First off. The length of this group buy far exceeded what Evolve Automotive ever expected and imagined! We hit nearly 60 participants which more than exceeded their latest order of EvolveR cables. With that being said, Evolve Automotive has ordered a big batch of cables specifically for this Group Buy. I was told by Imran that early to mid next week, he will be informing everyone how to start sending in payments. He decided not to take anyones money until they have enough inventory to meet the demand of this Group Buy.

So rest assured, they are trying to make things a little more efficient and an overall quicker process. Thanks for the patience guys!

On top of that, Evolve Automotive and RK Autowerks are partnering to meet the demands of the US Market. RK Autowerks will be designated to take care of the US Customer Base to provide even greater customer support and communication. Evolve Automotive will still be the sole tuners for any software that is produced.

Here's a quote that Jamie at RK Autowerks posted on M3Forums.

Mid part of next week, we should be good to go. Quite honestly when Imran told us he started a GB for the Z and E46 guys I figured 25-30 or so tops, 58!!! That's freaking amazing.

I'll be on here as updates are coming, if any of you have questions, please feel free to email me.

Oh and if you're looking for RK's website, don't bother, yet, it's still under construction. You can check us out on M5 board, the owners are all long time BMW guys all of us with modded SC'd M5's. We're looking forward to helping all of you with your cars.

Thanks and again nice meeting you all!

Evolve being in the UK is what prompted the distributor talks in the first place!
Stay tuned everyone! Great things are coming your way soon!

RK Autowerks is working on transferring the data from the Evolve Automotive US website to their server. As soon as everything is properly transferred, coded, and live, they will put up a special link to start sending over your pennies

Stay tuned guys!

You should all have a PM from flipm3 or me in your inboxes. If not please let him or me know and we'll make sure you get it.

Thanks again everyone for your participation and patience, thanks to Evolve and Imran for making the tune and answering all our questions, and a very special thanks to Alex for all his support and help. He's doing this selflessly just to support us and Evolve.

Now make sure you get some baseline dynos and update all your ECU software in preparation for your flashes! We can either post here, or make a new thread so everyone can post their impressions, reviews and dynos.

In the PM it states there are no options for the Z4M Tune. I am purchasing this tune to have have "Catless O2 ready". Please confirm that this is available and how I go about specifying it in my order.

When someone gets a cable and starts with reading his Ecu program please choose MSV70 model. Beware, its NOT MSS70

Fuel optimization, catless, raised rev limiter, and top speed removal are all automatically included. As soon as Evolve sees your modification list when you send your data, they will make the appropriate manipulations to your maps and make your own customized request ions for rev limiter, O2 readiness, etc.

Cold Start is an extra feature, but unfortunately, as of right now, I think it's only for the E46 M3. That you may have to clarify with Evolve.
