Sapphire Black. Jet black works better on the 3 and 5-series.

Swirl marks are less noticeable on Sapphire Black. So, unless you prefer to detailed your X with all your spare time, Sapphire Black would be the better choice.

What do you guys out there think, What colour would like better???

Metallic colors always fetch more at resale. Jet black looks good for those few moments after you detail...then it's back to dirty.

Thanks everybody for your inputs.
After reading everyones responses, I've decided to not make any changes and stay with the black sapphire. Btw, my '99 E46 is Jet Black so I can't complain.

Thanks again,
QJody
