what color should i choose to get Black Sapphire Metallic or Sparkling Graphite Metallic? which looks better with the aerodynamics package on a 335i E92....

Black only if you keep the car clean...

yazz · 07-28-2008, 12:54 AM

black it out

i have black saph. and i gotta say keeping her clean is quite a bit of work. i have to wipe the car down at least once a week. also saph black has a slightly grayish color to it in certain lighting.... jet black looks darker but is even harder to keep clean and doesn't hide scratches and swirl marks as well.......... that said, if you don't mind the work to keep her clean black is sexy... i still like it more than graph although i wonder if the extra $500 is worth it over jett black

SG. Easier to take care of versus a black car. Trust me, I have both, and the SG hides a LOT of dirt.

graphite

Black Sapphire - unless u don't mind a car that looks purple in some light - Thats why I didn't get it - In any event, graphite is a really nice color. If i had wanted a lighter color, i woulda gone space gray

I like spark better because with the aero kit you cant ever relly see it on black. Black hides the lines of the car which to me is not that appealing. I am sure some people hate AW but that is why we all have different colors.

Get Sparkling Graphite because i 'm getting one too!

i had a sparkling graphite e90. and just traded it in on friday for a black sapphire e92. i think i like the black more. i got the saddle brown interior which makes it look more dramatic
