any metallic paint will help to not show scratches and swirls but you can still see them on any dark colors metallic or not. jet black will give you a better shine, but not a really big difference.
Jet Black vs Black Sapphire Metallic
Some dealers tell me not to order Jet Black because it has a tendancy to show more scratches; others tell me that Jet Black is the way to go as it's shine more - any thoughts?

its true..jet black is the hardest color to maintain and scratches very very easily.
However, jet black to me, is the official color of what makes a bimmer a bimmer :thumbup:

Yes - the Jet Black does look nice. What about the High Gloss Shadow Line - is it better than the Chrome?

Saphire is cool, but everyone knows the 3 good things about jet black, it's 475 bucks cheaper, it's impin: and it's the fastest color:lmao: :thumbup: :thumbup:
impin: and it's the fastest color:lmao: :thumbup: :thumbup:gotta buck the trend and say... Black Sapphire is the greatest color ever.. look at it under the right sun or at night at a gas station and u will agree
once you go jet black, u never turn back
I spent 3 weeks trying to decide between the two and jet black does have a better shine, but on the down side it shows more scratches and is a ***** to maintain. I went with the jet black. I decided this after walking into the certified pre owned section of my dealer ship and find an old bimmer in jet black. the shine was perfect. so i went with the jet black, I made the right choice.

In certain lighting condition, the Black Sapphire Metallic provides a dark carbon greyish look, IMO. It's very nice.
Get Jet Black. I love mine :thumbup:
