Behind the Scenes: Developing the BMW M2 GTS Evo Front Splitter
When it comes to enhancing the aerodynamics and aesthetics of the BMW M2, I wanted something that not only drew inspiration from the iconic GTS models of BMW’s M range but also met the demands of both daily driving and heavy track use. Enter the M2 GTS Evo front splitter project—a passion-driven journey that’s been almost a year in the making, with the ultimate goal of creating a splitter that’s both functional and stunning.
A Fresh Start
Starting from scratch, we aimed to create something unique—blending the aggressive styling cues of the GTS models with real-world usability. From the very beginning, the focus was on achieving a balance between form and function. We wanted a splitter that wasn’t just for show but could truly perform under pressure, whether carving through track corners or taking on the daily commute.
The Prototyping Phase
The process began with countless prototypes. Each design was rigorously tested, critiqued, and refined, with the splitter mounted to the car for evaluation. Adjustments were made to ensure the perfect fit, durability, and functionality. This iterative process allowed us to achieve a product that met our high standards and delivered the performance I envisioned.
Key Features of the M2 GTS Evo Splitter
The final design boasts several standout features:
• Fully Adjustable Lower Lip: This allows users to tailor the splitter’s performance to their specific needs, making it versatile for both road and track applications.
• Chassis-Mounted Design: A custom-developed splitter bracket ensures a secure and reliable installation, providing stability even in high-speed or high-load conditions.
• Premium Materials: The upper splitter will be crafted from carbon fibre, delivering lightweight strength and a high-end aesthetic. Initially, the lower splitter will be available in durable ABS plastic, but we’re also working on a carbon fibre option for those looking for a fully carbon setup.
The Final Stretch
As of now, we’re in the final stages of development. The moulds are currently being produced, and we’re set to create the first units in the new year. Once production begins, the splitter will be ready for sale, marking the culmination of this exciting project.
Stay Tuned
The M2 GTS Evo splitter has been a labor of love, and I’m thrilled to share this journey with you. Whether you’re looking to take your M2’s performance to the next level or add a touch of GTS-inspired aggression, this splitter is designed to deliver. Keep an eye out for updates as we move closer to launch!
