Only post if you are serious:

I wouldn't do it on a stock car. I'd only do it if you have free flowing headers (Euro or otherwise), or some other intake/exhaust modifications.

It's probably going to be about 800 minus whatever discount (if any) they offer us.

I was thinking of dyno day and this will be perfect to have dyno before and after. I have a shop in mind but have to contact them on pricing yet.

Anyone interested in an Evolve-R group buy? I know you're in gferil so that's two people. Please post below if you're interested and I'll propose a group buy to them to launch their new product.

Evolve is based out of the UK, so most of their testing is on european cars.

And BTW that's why I'm getting a tune in the first place, I have a US car, but I put in euro headers and cats which makes the exhaust identical to the european version.

List as it stands:

1. beta.
2. gferil.
3. marinb.
4. RobMCoupe
5. OG_M3
6. RobertRO
7. tikamak
8.
9.
10.

Edit: I'd be in for a dyno day Rob.

Update: I proposed a group buy to them and they said they'd probably go for it They just want to make sure everything tests out ok on Monday before launching the product. If all goes according to plan I'll make a new group buy thread sometime next week (longer if they run into issues in testing).

Definitely keep me posted and I can help spread the word if you aren't active on other BMW forums.

Does anyone have info on these other features? I'm not seeing this stuff listed on Evolve's web site (I looked at the E46 M3 page).

The ability to read/clear DTC error codes works absolutely perfectly. You can save/export the codes as a text file too for records.

The ability to reset adaptations and log data are not available as of yet, at least upon my knowledge.

I am not sure if Evolve has developed a valet more yet or not, I haven't heard anything.

They do have a much nicer interface of the EvolveR PC software. It has been updated rather nicely compared to some of the screenshots that are floating around.

Be nice to have iPhone/iPad interface. The valet mode will be very useful if there is one.

Great news guys. According to Evolve's Facebook wall, the EvolveR is now available for the Z4M!

EPIC has the ability to read/clear DTC error codes and export/save them.

In their software interface they have a button to clear adaptations but not yet available. I think data log was there as well. Something you'd have to personally inquire about if you do purchase their software.

I am happy that Evolve finally has the R cable out for our cars. Would have been nice to know earlier, but I have no regrets about my purchase. Hope you guys that buy from them enjoy and let us know how you like it!!

Hehe, yup, same exact thing as the EvolveR PC Software, with having those boxes greyed out. It'll be great when it becomes available! Evolve, Epic and ESS all use the same program interface for the most part.
