Author's note: Special thanks to Karl and Mike Hugh of Active Autowerke, Kevin Silva and Bryce Eagle of Bavarian Engine Exchange, Al Hafner of BMP Design, Vadim Federovsky of evosport, Stacey Stone of JE Pistons and Brian Pauter of Pauter Machine for their patience and cooperation in making Project M3's motor happen.

EvosportIf you've been following Project M3 closely you've noticed the numerous mentions of evosport, the company responsible for nearly all of the installations on Project M3.

Simon Atik and Brad Otoupalik, two car nuts with a passion for road racing and high-performance tuning, founded this rapidly growing company in 1999. Both individuals still race BMWs and can often be found instructing for various Ferrari, BMW and Porsche club events. In club racing, it's hard not to notice the numerous evosport-sponsored cars on West Coast racetracks, primarily in BMW CCA events.

Evosport carries a huge range of product lines, from engine and exhaust upgrades, brakes, suspensions, interior upgrades to even chip tuning for street and track cars. This range allows evosport the flexibility to offer more of what the customer needs.

The tuning facility in Orange County, operated by Vadim Federovsky, houses a Dynojet dynamometer. Offering custom tuning to the serious performance enthusiast, evosport doesn't limit its services to BMWs-it also carries product lines and provides tuning for Ferraris and Mercedes-Benzes. In fact, a couple of its highly tuned Mercedes-Benz project cars might be able to outrun Project M3.
