Black Sapphire Metallic or Alpine White?

Looking to place an order for an M340i, stuck between Alpine White and Black Sapphire Metallic. My current G70 is white so a change of pace could be nice, but I've heard some horror stories about swirls and keeping black clean. It's also pretty hot in Arkansas in the summer.

Any thoughts on if I'd be making a mistake passing on black? Early 30 male if that makes a difference.

Black is great but as stated it definitely takes more to keep it up. If you know that and are ok with the extra time/work i'd go for it. I have a a really dark blue on my F150 and wouldn't change it for the world but it definitely takes more to keep it up. Having said that we just picked up our M440i Friday and its alpine white

Both nice but Alpine white all the wayyyy. Maybe im biased cause I have one Lol. But the gloss black trim accents on the LCI go with the alpine white real well in my opinion.

I went with Alpine White, but that Tanzanite Blue is tempting.

What you could do is get a white one and then wrap it black?
