Season’s Greetings from Evolve Automotive
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. 2025 has been a significant and rewarding year for our business, marked by growth and many exciting milestones, including:
Our S85 DCT swap development continues. The huge amount of interest from enthusiasts has been incredible so far and we’re excited with how close we are now to a product that has achieved our goal of OEM level functionality. See our progress video.
We finally bid a fond farewell to our heavily modified G81 M3 Touring. Taking inspiration from the M4 CSL we added a whole host of goodies including a full carbon fibre roof and bonnet. It gave us many adventures and visited many countries and was a firm favourite with us all at Evolve. But with BMW finally answering the call of building their own M3 CS Touring, and with our own new development car, the latest G90 M5, turning up, it was time to part ways. Watch the goodbye video.
With the arrival of our new G90 M5 (view my first thoughts here) it certainly made me reflect on my long history with BMW M’s autobahn stormer. Having owned every model, I can safely say I’m an M5 fan boy. From my supercharged E39 to the extreme F10 and F90 builds taken to their limits by Autotop NL, the new G90 feels like a major technological leap. With hybrid power and a commanding presence — and already pushing a comfortable 1,000bhp — there’s much more to come. Watch this space.
Evolve X Seven Quarters Fashion Collaboration. From a young age the world of fashion has been a love of mine, and this year I had the fortune of achieving a personal goal. Working with the talented team at Seven Quarters, this limited-run collection marks the start of what I hope is a long journey.
This year I had the opportunity to work with BMW M on their GEN M campaign, celebrating BMW’s enthusiast car culture. It was a privilege to collaborate with a brand that truly embraces the community behind it. Read the full article here.
2025 has seen many exciting M Car projects, fantastic shows and ongoing product development. None of this would have been possible without the loyalty of our valued customers.
After a very busy year, our offices will be closed from 24th December and will reopen on 5th January.
On behalf of everyone at Evolve, we wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
Best regards,
Imran Arshad
