Black Sapphire Metallic vs Jet Black

[RoadHog]

What is noticeable difference between Black Sapphire Metallic vs Jet black in 2014 X5. I saw both in dealer and couldn't tell much difference, may be i am not good with color, or will any show more wear and tear in long run as compared to to other?

Sapphire black is a metallic paint so you should notice metallic flecks in it especially under direct light. Jet Black does not have that property. In low/poor light you shouldn't notice much difference.

The metallic (sapphire) should also hide scratches and dirt at least a little better than the flat, jet black. Not sure how much difference, but the metallic helps some.
