Unleashing our Stage 3 900WHP BMW F90 M5 at VMAX 200

[@EvolveAutomotive]

**SPOILER BELOW** Yes, the car was 3mph slower than our Stage 2+ record, but with a 30mph+ headwind instead of a tailwind we are happy with the performance. Bring on the next one and everyone pray for kinder weather 🙏🏻

It's not rocket science. It's been the same for the past 20 years with EFI. The ability to just download a map and flash it onto your ecu is just easily accessible to morons now. If you're getting your car tuned and it isn't touching a dyno, stay away.

RK really seems to know his stuff. DMO talking shit about 30k build but RK even said you CAN make power on standard engine but it’s a roll of the dice if it will last.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

We pushed our car to where we were comfortable power wise, then made the decision to go for an engine build because we knew we couldn’t go much further safely and reliably.

[@aowen1079]

Congrats Evolve, great video, great channel, great institution, great shop and great cars. Hard Luck for that +30mph headwinds. As you said it affected everyone. The M5 is absolutely amazing. Best and fastest F90 M5 I've ever seen. Sorry to see M3 suffering with clutch issues. Also very surprised and interested to hear about the M240i hitting 205mph. If that's the B58 then its extremely impressive. Maybe its about time Evolve unleash their wizardry on the new Supra. Maybe in 2021? . Now that would be another special build. Anyway awesome stuff Evolve.

Fantastic effort thats the equivalent of circa 217mph if you factor in 15mph tail wind like last event. What was your best 0-300kph at last VMAX and at this one? Congrats.

[@driver_18]

The whistling noise from the wind could possibly be the crosswind hitting the side of the car and as the car moves forward, the side mirrors are building pressure pockets causing the noise.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

We definitely think it is something along these lines

[@sarcastixx74]

Imran, if you look closely at the NSF under the M5 @3:25 - @3:29 you can see what looks like part of one of the undertrays flapping around? That would likely have contributed to what sounded like the wind noise as well ;)
