What looks better black or basalt black?
I was gonna do black...dealer says he likes basalt better in the sun. In pictures it looks grey to me, never seen it in person. I think metallic would be a better finish even for swirls etc, but not sure it is what I invision.

Went to visit a dealer the night before. Black and Basalt Black almost side by side. Under the parking lot lights - no question straight black looked better to me.

Someone once said that Basalt looks like black with a layer of dust on it. I like metallic blacks but Basalt to me had a brownish tinge to it in sunlight which I didn't like. I like the BMW metallic black which has a blue tinge to it. My vote is for black.
