    I thought Basalt looked somewhat brownish in the sun and didn't like it. I was hoping it was like the M3 metallic black which has a blue hue to it in the sun. I spent many days trying to decide between the two, but in the end went with black.



    If you look closely enough you will notice the blue hue that you are referring to. Of course it is not as pronounced as the Carbon black of BMW, but it is still there.....

    Sure Mike,

    Don't have that many good quality pics yet but you can catch a glimpse of Table mountain in the background of the one pic.

    Thanks Stig! I love the first picture, is that the road by Gordon's bay?

    By the way, you going to the next Porsche Parade? Do you know where it will be held?
