Black Sapphire Metallic or Mineral Gray?

uknowraj · 02-23-2016, 09:14 PM

I have a week 11 build for a M4 with ZCP and am having a hard time choosing between BSM vs MG. I love both colors i really like how MG looks at night but I have always wanted a black car. Black is just sexy all around.

Either color I go with my interior color is going to be SO. I feel like the hardest part of buying a M car is picking the color. Please share your thoughts on the two colors.

The interior color you want would play a role here.

I would choose BSM actually. Black/Red

Same here. I'm already leaning towards a MG/SO M3 for my next car. BSM with SO is a bit stark. Not sure how to describe it but I just don't think the combo looks great.

I have about 2-3 weeks before picking up my F80 MG/SO

congrats. how long did it take once the car went into production?

The cool thing about BSM is that it reminds me of the original M3 that came out in the 80s. I loved that car back then, and now that I'm 50, I'm finally getting one. Of course, I ended up going with YMB, but BSM is really cool. Can't go wrong with MG either.

OneRib · 02-23-2016, 09:50 PM

BSM since you always wanted a black car. No brainer.

iWin · 02-23-2016, 09:52 PM

BSM.

For one, you've always wanted a black car

And two, BSM/SO > MG/SO

Plus black is beautiful when its clean!

Words to describe BSM/SO combo:

Vampiric
Satanic
Twilight "Team Edward"

Though the BSM/SO combo might look good with the 666 ZCP wheels!

I was thinking the same. The 666 wheels will look better with bsm

uknowraj · 02-23-2016, 10:07 PM

I do feel that carbon fiber parts will look better with MG

F83 · 02-23-2016, 10:22 PM

Ugh, black. Never again. But I'm prolly older than you. Been there, done that. Love the look but...

Why not black ever again?

When freshly washed and waxed it looks amazing. Nothing better. But after 10 minutes of driving....

In the real world, black always looks dirty. Plus God forbid you get any micro swirls. They are right there 24/7.

Again, it's my favorite look when clean honestly but... I'm anal about a shiny clean car and black is freaking impossible.

That is why you coat it!

Silly.

Haha! He said Team Edward!

I had the same problem, went MG, can't go wrong with either IMO.

04RC51 · 02-23-2016, 10:57 PM

BSM all the way! MG isn't remotely goodlooking at all.
