The car would be JB, Black Leather, Carbon trim.
Clean: I would expect it to require the same amount of attention as Black Sapphire Metallic which is high maintanence, but those who like myself are accustomed to the upkeep of a black car wouldn't be biting off more than they could chew. IMO, it's more "needy" than white, but is there really anything as gorgeous as a pristine black vehicle?

I bet after its run is done there will be M3 punters asking for it w/ M3 Fxx; just as there are those asking for past ///M colours no longer available. Jet will likely always be an option.

The 'petrol' blue hues in Jz = You can see some in my car (admittedly from afar) here:



Jerez Black is even more exclusive now that the two new Ms -- the X sisters -- have been let in on Silverstone and Melbourne Red paint action which leaves the M3 lineup with Jerez Black as the sole M3 exclusive color.
