Black grilles look sick on JBZ, i think im going to order a pair before my car gets here. They are they same as the E92 335's right?

Yeh I'm getting black kidney grills as well but my color is SSII. I want a shiny black though. Like a chrome black. I already photoshoped one the way I want it (left side drive) with the tint.

I didnt see Jerez in real life. I am answering in the basis of the pictures I have seen and what the people who saw it told me.

Well maybe it's not a good idea to comment based on "pictures" and what "people told you". Jerez Black might as well have been called Carbon Black because it is virtually identical. Look at how the colour is made up compared with Carbon Black as well. |

You're right perhaps, but I think the wild card here is the color, density, and size of the flakes, which might make them appear quite different IRL. I have a Carbon M5 and hope to have my Jerez M3 early March. First thing I plan to do is take pictures of the two cars side-by-side and post here somewhere. I know that Carbon changes character quite a bit from sunny to overcast conditions so I'll try to catch both conditions with an identical camera

Overall though, both colors are very dark and the difference is miniscule. I think we are beating around the bush here.. Best regards, CSL |
