M3 CS - Satin Signal Green

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I took delivery of my M3 CS in Signal Green recently. It then went straight to Topaz Bristol (UK) for satin PPF conversion.

1 of 6 UK cars and I imagine the only one in satin green!

I've added the CSL red stripes to the sills and bonnet. Also had the M Performance carbon sills and rear quarters installed. The side gills were changed to OEM carbon ones with the M3 badges re-installed.

I'm going to get some photos of it with my Frozen Silver CSL soon.

But here are some photos so far...

Delivery:






PDI at the dealer:



Collection day (then to Topaz):







Topaz applying some test panels as I wasn't sure to go gloss or satin PPF:



Satin PPF install by Topaz








Ready for collection:



Some photos in the sun:

Looks nice with the completed sideskirts, winglets, and fender breathers. Not sure I love the additional red stripes personally but I respect finishing the look!

Agreed, looks great, would have left the red stripes off. But hey..not my car!

Satin Signal reminds me of AMG Green Hell Magno. I like the Signal better...more saturated.

I absolutely love the satin look and think the additional red stripes ties in beautifully with the rest of the car! Bravo!!

I totally love the new m3cs, but this signal green color... really not sure about it.

Nice! I was going to make a pun about Angry Birds Pig Green but realised the G80 is really not that pig-faced. Certainly not when compared to my old F20.

Angry Beaver Green..?

Great car.
But, I still don't understand the allure of the satin/matte paint job. I have done my share of matte black and gray cars back in the days but I always got bored very quickly after doing it unlike the gloss paint jobs.

Agreed .. especially beautiful vibrant colors. It's a shame to wrap them in matte/satin/whatever

I just appreciate from afar, but would never personally own one

Black & Grey works best because it amplifies that sinister look.

Either way awesome car OP, Signal Green would be my only choice if getting a CS

Love it! I would’ve made the red stripes you added thinner to match the thickness of the grill stripes but that’s just being picky. Well done!! And enjoy!!

Cool, but you can't deny it looked better before the Matt PPF.
