Black Sapphire or Jet Black?

Hi Everyone,
I just placed my order on Saturday for the 3.0si. with premium, activity package, and parking sensor. Unfortunately it will go into production later this month and won't be ready untill July.

Anyway, I was orginally going to order it in Jet black, however the salesman convince me for the longterm, I was better off going with the sapphire black. I'm still double guessing myself now, I believe I can still change my mind, if I call on Monday.

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

It's a tough choice. If your car is washed often, and not usually dirty, then definately go for Jet Black. If your car tends to be always slightly dirty,and maybe not washed as often, go for Sapphire Black. You can't tell it's as dirty.
But that said, I think Jet Black looks better than Sapphire when clean.

I have Black Sapphire and it looks like it has diamonds in the paint when she's all cleaned up. I'm Still amazed at the way it looks.

The jet black is an extremely nice color, but hard to keep it clean. I have a jet black color on my E70, and I love it.
