Jet Black or Black Sapp?????

Beemer325 · 06-20-2006, 01:37 PM

My wife wants a 330i and she doesn't know which black tone she wants. Whats your pref.?

And Im thinking of getting tints since Im parking my car in front of the house now. Does anyone know a place in Ohio and what % would be appropriate for an older guy?

I like Sapphire Black.

black sapp.

Juve29 · 06-20-2006, 02:25 PM

Black Sapphire. I used to think they looked the same but after seeing them side by side i noticed that Black Sapphire is nicer. You see the metallic inside the paint.

Jet black! Shines like a mirror when it's got a good coat of wax!

It all depends on the shade of black...I prefer the perfectly ink black color, which is why I chose Jet Black.

NaTuReB0Y · 06-20-2006, 02:29 PM

jet black.....w/tint = HOT!

5% rear
15% back windows
35% front windows

A poll might be easier to track the results...I vote for Jet Black.

Exactly Jet Black with Lemon interior.....the best Combo ever made...
But needs some cares (cleaning interior and Wax if you want the best effect of your paint)

Mr. BMW · 06-20-2006, 02:32 PM

Neither. Get Monaco Blue. It's not a very popular color, (not sure why) looks black at night and low lighting and it’s probably just a little easier to keep clean than black. I get a lot of compliments on the color.

...for about 30 minutes, then it looks like it needs a wash again.
