Building the ultimate Family Wagon

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

When we built our M3 Touring 'CSL' what we didn't tell you is that Imran@Evolve had ordered another one in an individual specification to become his dream family car.

That car has now arrived, with the stunning Verde Ermes dark green paint and Tartufo brown interior giving it a seriously classy vibe. But the boss of Evolve isn't going to be driving his family around in a standard car! So it's time to kick this car up a notch and build his true dream BMW M car.

What are we doing with the Skyscraper Grey 'CSL' build? Watch the video to find out...

Wow, the combo and the accents color are just perfect !

Incredible! Everything works perfectly together!

spuntyb · 02-22-2024, 08:47 AM

Saw this on YT and absolutely love the color combo. VH is easily my favorite green. Nice work!

LOOKS INCREDIBLE!!!

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL...

What about painting/powder coating the strut brace gold to match the rest of the accents?

Thanks all!

We've seen a few painted braces and where the surface finish is so rough they don't tend to look great.

There is also the risk of going a step too far with the accent colour and with no other gold in the engine bay decided to leave it factory finish.

How many M cars does Evolve Automotive order a year? I hope your getting special pricing from BMW UK.

Ibiza · 02-22-2024, 02:54 PM

Very classic G81 build after viewing. Job well done 👍

bholler · 02-22-2024, 04:16 PM

This is one way to achieve worlds coolest dad.

GS1 · 02-23-2024, 01:29 AM

Hard to pick between this and the Skyscraper car. Both tastefully done and look stunning.
Imran@Evolve, Matt@Evolve - would be very cool to see these side by side at Ultimate BMW this year at Gaydon.

dezzracer · 02-23-2024, 06:48 AM

Holy kid hauler. Stunning!

jeff@autocouture · 02-23-2024, 08:11 AM

As always, Imran@Evolve making the world jealous with the perfect family hauler.

In the last 12 months quite a few!

Gold inlays and the green is just absolute perfection.

I was talking to my son about this the other day. He used to go to pre school in a E60 M5 or a Supercharged E92 M3 so he has known cool from a young age.

taolant · 02-24-2024, 10:49 AM

Absolutely stunning. The best M car you can get nowadays

TargaM2 · 02-24-2024, 05:42 PM

Beautiful build. I’d do the bonnet, the carbon roof & seats & keep the green car.

MADBMWX5MC · 04-06-2024, 06:59 AM

What an awesome looking M3 T...and that color!
