Black e89 owners, a favour needed

[john-e89]

Hi, I've noticed that whilst the paint on mine is sapphire black, the A pillars at the sides of the windscreen are a jet black with no sparkly flecks in them. It's only on the pillars, nowhere else on the car. Could someone have a look at theirs and see if this is normal please before I have to book it in for the dealers to have a look.

It does'nt bother me as such but I'm thinking if I ever need to sell it a potential buyer might be put off if they spot it.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Normal. They easily scratch so you'll need to polish them now and then. Check out how odd they look on white cars!

Definitely normal

Odd?
How dare you.
Agreed that they might look better white.

Yep , black with no sparkles on mine also!
(Sapphire black)
I also wondered why, just never got around to asking.

I think the black pillars on a non black car are a sacrifice they have to make.
It looks a bit funny when the roof is up but good when the roof is down.
