Just purchased the carbon air box for my Z 4. Its beautiful under the hood along with performs well. I hope you continue your R and D on BMW Z 4 performance products
Congratulations on getting the Queen's Award Enterprise Imran et al. - well deserved after seeing the great customer support and product quality you guys have. Not a Z4 roadster fan either, but you guys chose the right colour/spec for it. For a 'GT style' cruiser, its impressive that its faster than the (quoted more powerful) M2 N55 around the Nordschleife, so I can only wonder how you guys can extract the Supra's potential. Keep up the great work.
To me this is the best channel on all UA-cam, I never miss a video from it, keep up the good work evolve automotive, RECIFE - Brasil 🇧🇷 South America here.
Looking to get a F10 M5 as money for value probably one of the best cars atm these guys will defo be doing a stage 2 to it wouldn't trust any other company to map a BMW apart them these guys
Firstly have to congratulate you all at Evolve on the Queens award. Quality informed first review of Z4. Does seem a nice car. Will be interesting to see how you develop it.
Try revving out to redline and upshift. It will lag compared to DCT and lag a lot if you ask to be downshifted near redline. Use of torque converter is a serious issue on track because it overheats and inherently comes with lower redline = I have to upshift before 130R vs. Revving out to 7600 rpm and hold the same gear on F82 for example. I can't believe they are planning to slap this transmission on every M car..
Don't love the design of the z4, especially the front. However, it's still on top of the list of cars that I want as it is light and has a great engine for mods, while still being somehow affordable. Upgradeturbo and downpipes plus software and this thing makes 550hp easily, that's AMG GT C numbers!
What do you mean the discs aren't vented? Don't they have internal veins for cooling between the two parts of a disc? It seems so weird to me they wouldn't do that on such a high performance car.
I’ve heavily modified my Z4 M40i using parts that are marketed for the Supra. Downpipe, various intakes (the Eventuri isn’t fitted yet) hoses, springs, alignment settings, wheels etc
I believe the Boxster is a much more accomplished car but probably is not as much fun. Its almost too good if you know what I mean. Also for equivalent performance I would expect the Boxster is more expensive.
@@thesunofodin i guessed it was that. I know them just as PPF(petrol part fil). I've already seen cars with blocked up ones and warning lights(work for merc now not beemer anymore). So gone are the days of telling customers to swap to petrol because of their journeys. Wanky emissions making cars have more problems
There is only one beautiful driving road on the north shore right next to Lake Michigan but that’s it. UK roads are like Silverstone compared to ours 😂
Being an owner of the 2020 Z4 M40i that I took delivery of June 1...it is absolutely amazing!!! I could not be happier with it!
I am taking delivery of my M40i the day after tomorrow.... I can harly wait
@@BaronSchmatz777 good call to give away your camaro!

Great video thank you. I have a Z4 M40i on order so I will be watching this video at least 10 times a day until it arrives.
Congrats on the new car!
At last .....Bmw have built a good looking car straight out the box .

2019 Supra Mk. V has the B58B30C while the 2020 Z4 MDrive40i has the 58B30O1 engine and there are some internal differences in part numbers.
Ive heard about that, what are the differences??
@@X1xRiGox3X Mostly some internal parts and probably. One guy at R&T specified the difference in part numbers, and it was reposted at Jalopnik.
Great review! Appreciate the review super knowledgable

Thank you Philip! Eventuri won the award but we’re so proud to have helped play a part 🥳

Depends on how ATF is cooled.
This is my dream car!...Absolutely love this!

Any love for the 20i/30i engines?
You guys should look into developing a carbon fiber hardtop roof like the S2000 has that's if you guys can even do that.
Another excellent video Imran, Thankyou,
question, As the steering is electric do you leave it in comfort?
thanks.
I preferred sport.
What is the gearbox like in the new m135i? I dont think its a ZF gearbox in that.
its not
It's not as ZF box, it's an Aisin one.

Thank you. We are just trying to keep it real ;-)
Just don't come out with dodgy socks like one of them guys.........lol!
@@PixelVogue branded socks what a great idea 😅😂
Schmee is annoying as hell
you don't have to tear down someone to praise another, you sound bitter like a scorned ex
Nice informative review, and congrats for the queens award.
Thanks!

I meant they are not grooved or drilled
@@EvolveAutomotive Oh okay, that makes more sense.
Is development still ongoing with the Z4 M40i?
No, we sold this when the Supra arrived.

How is it different type of customers from Boxster. Can you explain that? Because I am weigh up to buy one of them.
I believe the Boxster is a much more accomplished car but probably is not as much fun. Its almost too good if you know what I mean. Also for equivalent performance I would expect the Boxster is more expensive.
@@EvolveAutomotive BMW more for touring, highways and driver comfort with more amenities. Boxster more for the bendy roads and the track.
Quality vid
great review
Nice review
Any ideas on where this was shot??
In our new HQ, and the surrounding roads.
Imran. Are the discs really not vented? or did you mean drilled/slotted?
Yes that's what I meant ...not drilled /slotted they obviously have the vanes 👍
@@EvolveAutomotive Thanks. Can't wait for you to get hold of your Supra. Any idea how long?
@@delboy2596 no idea yet. sometime in between Sept and Oct
Brakes look like the same as our G01 M40i
Would this be getting an OPF delete and do they need a map alongside?
Opf?

This is a temporary car for us so we won't be doing that. Will be going all out on the Supra though. :-)

Beautiful roadster and can’t wait for a coupe. Hope you had fun driving on our completely straight boring roads in Chicago. 😂 cheers mate.
Haha ie had access to some great cars out here but the roads are very boring and not in good shape. I thought UK roads were bad.
There is only one beautiful driving road on the north shore right next to Lake Michigan but that’s it. UK roads are like Silverstone compared to ours 😂
@@setperspective I will check it out if I have time. I'm going to LA now and they have some great canyon roads around them.
The canyons outside of LA are the best enjoy yourself
Unreal
I’ve just had an m2 competition. Would you prefer one of these ?
No way. Would take the M2 every time. 🙃
Evolve Automotive Thanks !. It’s my first M car really happy with it. Might have to bring it to you for some tuning 👍
Very weird watching you reverse at 60 mph
Dyno?
As said at the end of the video we ran out of time, we will do a video soon dyno and dragy testing.
Better than the new supra
I think he was wiping the floor before the video 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can't get a worst style than this 🤣🤣🤣
Not sure on the looks Looks a bit Mercedes like and a bit soft compared to previous gens. Also the slushbox looks slow
The previous gen Z4 was the worst so far. Soft in looks and performance. Have you tried the new ZF 8 speed? Its shift speed is very fast.
You drive like a mad man 😂😂😂
Amazed he doesn’t give himself whiplash.
i came to watch the car. Not the driver.
and its slower than the supra..
