BSM Question

WRS_ATL · 09-01-2022, 08:35 AM

A question for anyone that has a Black Sapphire Metallic G42… when standing back and looking at the car does the black trim stand out as noticibly different than the paint color, or does it all blend together? It doesn’t look remarkably different in photos but those can be misleading.

I like the styling of the car but I’ve never liked the black trim pieces, particularly the points on the outside of the rear bumper. I know it saves BMW some costs but I think it was the wrong call. In any event, I went with BSM on my order. I did so to minimize the look of the black trim. But I haven’t seen a BSM in person so I’m curious on y’all’s take. Thanks!

It's not a noticeable as I thought. One reason to why I picked BSM, blends in quite well. I do like the all black stealth look.
