2024 G80 M3 CS Signal Green Build

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
The BMW community is truly amazing, and I've had great support throughout my years of BMW ownership from this forum and my local CCA. I fulfilled my dream of owning an M3 with the F80 in 2015 but regretfully sold it two years ago. My goal was to always get back into another M3 and now happy to say I'm back with a G80 M3 CS in this amazing Signal Green.

Finding the right G80 M3 was SUPER challenging due to allocations and dealers' markups. So i have to give a few shoutouts, I was fortunate to secure this one at MSRP from BMW of Macon in Macon, GA. Shoutout to the team there (Joshua, Omar and Mike Perez), they really made it easy and quick! No BS. I am in PA, so this was sight unseen but they sent me several photos and even videos of the car. Honestly one of my best car buying experiences, it was easier and less stressful than some local dealers i have experienced. I arranged shipping with AutoMoversUSA LLC and they were also great. I was a little nervous getting it shipped as i have heard horror stories but they did a very good job staying in touch with me, reassuring me and made sure the driver was vetted. From the time i put down my deposit (Wednesday), car was in my garage on Sunday.

The plan was to always build an individual color G80, maybe manual. but never in my wildest dream did i expect to secure a CS without being taken to the bank. The car's color, Signal Green, exceeded my expectations and really looks stunning in person. I don't think the photos do it justice.

I haven't tested its performance fully, but the car feels responsive and top-notch. The interior with carbon buckets and carbon center feels excellent, though I'm adjusting to the lack of buttons and iDrive8. Not to mention the cup holder lol.

I got the car PPF'd and ceramic coated by SJ Paint Protection in West Deptford, NJ, who did an outstanding job. I highly recommend them to others in the PA/NJ area. This was not the first time for me going to them, so i trusted their work. John the owner still took the time to explain to me their process on how they would protect my car, addressed some of my concerns and overall in his usual fashion just made it an awesome experience. John and Brad really are experts in this and their work is truly beyond expectations. With PPF and Ceramic Coatings, most of the products (debatable i know) are similar to me, but for me choosing the right installer was most important. To be able to trust them and be rest assured they will take care of my car while doing a good job. In both cases they did, and it almost felt like they were working on their own car. The level of professionalism and attention to details was truly exceptional. I have to also say John could be a surgeon with his steady hands with the knife while trimming, the precision was insane. Big shoutout to those guys, and really the only place i trust to take care of my PPF and coatings. Big plus is they are really good people.

Installed Suntek PPF and Gtechniq EXOv5 coating. Gloss is crazy!

Just a big thank you to everyone who helped me secure and protect the car. I really love it and i look forward to driving it and really driving it after the break in! More to come!

Here are some photos, including the PPF installation process. I have some mods coming that i will share. Overall trying to keep it OEM+ ..... for now lol... but we shall see once the itch kicks in.

Also set up an IG for this so i can document the build, come say hi! and i will follow back. Love to connect with others in this amazing community!

Hmm, I don't know. Aren't you afraid that you'll just blend in, and no one will notice you?



LOL, the car looks fabulous, congrats!

Signal will be much more desireable in the long run, IMO.

Nothing with the engine yet, waiting to break in and see what i have first.

Mostly cosmetic mods planned so far, the wheel gap in the front really bothers me tho and how far the tire sits in. So i have to find a good solution for that.

Installed Future Classic 12mm spacers on today on all 4 corners. Will post pics when I get good ones.

The rear I think looks great. The front could definitely use more. However, I was afraid of rubbing. I compared my results with a different G80 with 12mm spacing on the front but theirs seem to have more effect. Correct me if I am wrong but I may have heard somewhere that the CS has more negative camber?

(Pics of fitment up soon)

CS has different uprights that have 0.5 degree more camber than comps. I also have a CS and found that out the hard way. I’m also running 12mm spacers all around but have a set of custom bbs’s on the way so I never bothered to get the 15mm spacers up front.
