this color is amazing, is it really a black sapphire?

I have ordered the sapphire black but I'm afraid I have selected the wrong color

and how do you clean it to avoid the swirl?

p.s what camera are you using? those photos are so great!

Jason i was exactly like you, i ordered the sapphire black and actually had a few sleepless nights thinking... DID I ORDER THE WRONG COLOR?

turns out, i didn't. you gotta keep it clean, because sapphire looks greyish quite quickly if you do not keep it spotless.... but if you enjoy taking care of your car, its a look you cant beat.

IMO the sapphire black is a far richer color than the jet black + the paint is harder i got told, and you see less scratches on the metallic sapphire.

I wash my car twice a week with a manual 60degrees C jet wash with soap included. It cost me 1 euro here at the local petrol station. This way you can never put tiny scratches on your paint as nothing is actually touching your car (except a jet of water), and it takes about 5 minutes to do the whole car Especially doing my many spokes rims are very easy to clean with a jet wash.

Hey Godius I am looking forward to your next exhaust video! Maybe with some driveby footage too perhaps?

Sapphire black really suits this Z4.

Thx for your opinion, now I am expecting to get my black sapphire Z4 and I can get it in December, what I am thinking is to find the way to improve the audio system, qodius, would you tell me your experience about the OEM audio system?

There have been quite a few threads regarding the standard stereo system and most, it would seem aren't too positive. Have a quick search.

I would say that the majority would recommend upgrading at least to the 'business' option (available in Europe) or going for the 'premium' sound package if in the US (the US doesn't seem to offer the 'business' upgrade which would be the middle option).

Of course you always have the option of going the 'after market' route which, from what I've read, probably gives you slightly more for your money but of course you'll have to leave it with the supplier to fit etc.

Love you choice of the rims with the color of car.

I think you did make one great choice with the rims fit with the color of the car. I have one Havana color, and I still looking for the right choice.
I did reach this weekend my 1500km driving on the brand new high way's in Qatar followed up with the empty curvy roads through the dessert.
This time of year is just heaven to drive open...
I wish you much fun with your black beauty.

Is it not everywhere.

Sure there is a speed limit. 120 KM/H like almost everywhere in the world, only some parts of the German autobahn stay the dream still really open to drive free.
Here in Qatar are many Speed traps. But when go into the dessert there is not much travic and the road is great, so it means just keep your eyes good open.
