Black Sapphire vs. Mineral Grey (4 Series)

riimiX · 08-22-2013, 08:41 PM

I keep going back and forth between these two and I can't make up my mind on which to go with..

I'll see a video or photo of one of them and just instantly change my mind.

Either would be paired with Coral Red interior; anyone in the same predicament or have input?

From my 4 series track day

Blubaron79 · 08-22-2013, 08:45 PM

riimiX · 08-22-2013, 08:48 PM

Once I saw it in person I was sold....

Blubaron79 · 08-22-2013, 09:03 PM

This pic sold me

riimiX · 08-22-2013, 09:41 PM

3/4 views dont really do much for me. im sure in person its much different

Mobster1983 · 08-22-2013, 10:28 PM

Try to see it in person if you can. When I was ordering, I wanted the mineral gray, but my significant other wanted black. We went with black, and I was glad for it when I saw a mineral gray a few weeks later. It's not bad, but I think the black just looks better.

Blubaron79 · 08-22-2013, 10:32 PM

More pics on my post tomorrow. Hopefully that helps!

MG with CR interior would be very nice. Or the darker (saddle?) brown.

Seagull · 08-23-2013, 07:10 AM

Don't hide the beauty with black...

34.50 · 08-23-2013, 07:11 AM

Blech, grey and red just don't mix well imo. Black and red!

riimiX · 08-23-2013, 08:22 AM

jason thanks for posting those shots, they're sick!

one thing that really stood out to me in the track day video was how the black looked from behind.. looked so mean and angry, loved it

That was the Msport package. I have more pics of it coming up on my review here in a about 2-3 hours.

GOLFFRR · 08-23-2013, 08:30 AM

MG

just looks perfect on the 4

///jbeck · 08-23-2013, 09:12 AM

Mineral Grey looks great with red!

btbossman · 08-23-2013, 09:33 AM

Yeah grey and red is sexy! I would only do CR interior with either grey or EB2, but they both look fantastic!

hotdawg · 08-23-2013, 12:18 PM

Hi all, my first post!
Disclosure, got 435i coming w/ black + CR interior
Saw MG in person, did nothing for me. I feel like i'd have to be 40+ for MG, but that's just me. I think black metallic with CR would look amazing + window tint.

riimiX · 08-23-2013, 09:14 PM

tomorrows the day. we'll see what i pick
