M3 CS - Satin Signal Green

Patagus007 · 08-11-2023, 05:13 AM

Amazing attention to detail 🔥🔥🔥

Matt@Evolve · 08-11-2023, 05:23 AM

Love it in the satin PPF, and with re-adding the red.

FrozenGT · 08-11-2023, 06:57 AM

This is a car only a mother could love… 🫣

LGT39 · 08-11-2023, 07:18 AM

looks great! congrats!

manuelf · 08-11-2023, 08:28 AM

I like the CS! It is a dream car!
The only thing I really don't get: What thought BMW ///M with this SUV look in the front? I mean ... the back is halfway acceptable ...

Maybe it is just me ... but when lowering a CS model I then always think: They for sure have optimized driving dynamics ... is lowering really a good idea?

dephrank · 08-11-2023, 09:30 AM

I’d have wrapped the entire car - black lines on the bonnet and lower black parts.

Be mindful of the distinct finish on days you want to test her mettle on public roads. All that power. Just saying. Wouldn’t let anything overtake me and get away with it

Congratulations on your new toy Sir

The whole car is covered in PPF. Any gloss areas are gloss PPF.
Topaz did an amazing job.

I am NOT a fan of frozen…but, I think you got it RIGHT.
WELL played, Sir!!!

🤩🔥

Xpel satin FTW!

IcEWoLF · 08-11-2023, 01:47 PM

What a gorgeous color! I’m glad you went Satin! It looks so darn good!

uhn2000 · 08-11-2023, 03:14 PM

I went back and forth on signal green and the frozen white so many times I had a headache. Seeing this.. ooof so many mixed emotions!

Spoolin Montego · 08-11-2023, 05:25 PM

Personally, I much prefer the gloss signal green vs the matte.

///M TOWN · 08-11-2023, 07:00 PM

Nicely done

Congratulations ❕

DriveWithDray · 08-11-2023, 11:13 PM

Quality work topaz does however that car definitely looked better glossy and without the red details. But opinions are subjective

First thing this car needs is a lowered suspension. Those wheel gaps should be illegal

Asymmetrick · 08-12-2023, 11:10 AM

Love the M3cs in satin Signal green – much better than the original. Nice to see the attention to detail on this job. Kudos!

If you ever feel a change is needed, dark green version of the CSL stripes or bronze/gold (to match the wheel color) might also fit nicely on your signal green M3cs.

I've personally never been a huge fan of the red stripes on the M4 (my CSL is spec-ed without them). Deep blue CSL stripes fit better on the Brooklyn grey paint IMO http://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...postcount=1214

Congrats. Been watching the progress on your IG page.
100% with everything you’ve done apart from the red, for me a colour that’s unnecessary. Your CSL suits it without a doubt.
Frozen looks 💚

That’s the first thing I thought about the stripes too.
It’s also crying out for a drop in ride height.
Brave colour choice for sure.
Congrats.

provenflipper · 08-12-2023, 08:10 PM

Build looks amazing so far. Wish I had a shot at a CS.

matx1982 · 08-13-2023, 04:23 AM

Thanks everyone.

The red stripes are the CSL set and the bonnet ones help cover the gloss and matt PPF where they meet up. That said Topaz have done an exceptional job with a perfect join underneath.

I do think they enhance the car which is why they were installed.

Has anyone done a ccb retrofit on a G8x? I wish this car could have had ceramics from the start. BMW say currently a kit does not exist - I wonder if they will release anything like they did for the F8x.

I too would like to explore a retrofit at some point, simply because they look so damned good

As a fellow Green car enjoyer. I love the way it turned out! I’m really considering going this route.
