Having owned both, Jet Black and Sapphire, Sapphire Black looks better, it's easier to maintain does not streak swirl and will show swirl marks. Jet Black, is a true black, however the paint is soft, showing streaks, scratches and after a car-wash, swirls streaks.
If you're into excessive detailing, Jet Black is for you. Highest Regards. |

Both are great colors, but it ultimately does come down to how detail oriented you are and if the extra care JB demands is worth it to you. I can't think of a better look than a truly clean non-metallic paint, but understand why folks love metallic paints. |

Honestly, I ordered Jet Black because I wanted my car to be black. In some lights Black Sapphire looks like a very dark gray, which is fine, but not what I personally wanted. Black Sapphire is a great color and I'm glad people order F30s in all sorts of different colors so I can see them, but I have a soft spot for gloss black cars.

I was struggling with Jet Black vs. Black Sapphire before I ordered my F30. Eventually went with Jet Black because a) it was cheaper; and b) it had a more "pure" black look to me. It definitely requires more detail work to keep it looking sharp, but a well detailed Jet Black looks better than a Black Sapphire to me.
I'll post pics later of my Jet Black F30... |
