2QT vs 29U... can anyone tell the difference?

So this is apparently 2QT (not Jet Black)

This is apparently 29U (Jet Black)

https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...&highlight=29U

What is the difference?

Yes. One has a dark tint, the other doesn’t.

Is the next question can we spot the difference between the blue and the white? If so, I’m working on this...

It's one of the most disheartening things I've had ordering a car. Our dealer told us they were black. They have a darker tint coat. That's it.

I thought the same thing while building the car on bmw...there's a poor discernible difference between the two wheel colors. it should be more obvious, but at least the price doesn't change when you select either set, which makes it okay hahaha.

The difference is definitely noticeable in person.

I took that picture of the AW car above, and there was no hint of the dark clear you see on the black wheels.

The bi color really pop. Look at the video in the LBB ED thread. The guy walks past 3 M2C and the 3rd has the bi-color wheels.

At its brightest, head on and in direct lighting, it's possible to confuse the tinted face with the bi-color, but the dark wheels look really dark from other angles.
