I'd rather have gloss. Matte looks like I ordered something that's primed to be painted....unfinished.

Matte black on my pre-LCI e90... If you have the LCI version or the e92 I'd get gloss, but I know the matte looks awesome on my car.

Gloss black or matte black on e9x jet black. I have gun metal rims, so, leaning towards matte.
