Black Sapphire is the best color for BMW's period. (and not cuz i have it haha)

SoCal335i · 05-23-2007, 08:45 PM

Jet black. Cause real men dont do sparkles

I just like the deep black look. After zaino or a good wax job nothing is better than jet black.

i was in the same problem as you... Jet black or black sapphire metallic...... my sales guy told me "are you picky with your paint?" I said yes... he said then go black sapphire metallic... cuz jet black shows everything... He also showed me both on the lot and fell in love with black sapphire. end of story =) problem solved

Saphire for me after seeing both of them next to each other at the dealer in the afternoon.
when you wax your car, the jet will leave a lot of marks on it.

Does anybody have pics of Jet and Saph side by side? I am also on the fence between the two colors but am also considering AW

I have JB, it shows every inch of dirt, dust and pollen. but when it is clean and the sun is out dang it is sexy

ALPINE6SPD · 05-24-2007, 09:08 AM

I like metallic black(sapphire) more than jet because it is more of a dynamic color IMO. Then again I have AW which is not metallic.

montreal_bimmer · 05-24-2007, 11:19 AM

Jet Black

100%

i'd beg to differ, imo a completely clean and detailed jet black will look hotter than the black sapphire

jet black is amazing to look at when it's clean and polished since it's so deep, as to how often you can keep it clean, that's another story.

I use z2, z5, and z6 on the car and it looks amazing when i'm done, i spent 6 hours last sunday detailing the car, now 3 days later it has a layer of dust on it... and some sap from the tree I parked under yesterday... i'll have to take it for a quick wash after work today.
