ha... that's not good. I just came from Jet black e90M. hated maintaining it and swore off black unless it's a garage queen and not something I'll drive daily |
On the one hand the metallic hides imperfections and if you ever need body work it's an easy match because close enough will be sufficient, but it's still a dark color, so to really pop you have to deal with swirls and water spots etc more so than what is noticeable on a white or silver car. I have 2 little kids now and just didn't have the time for that level of maintenance.
