SGM vs Jet Black heat wise

[128er]

Will there be a noticable difference between Sparkling graphite w/ black ette and Jet Black with black 'ette in terms of heat?

I'm driving a Jet Black 328i loaner while my SGM 135i is having a tire replaced.

Jet Black get noticeably hotter.

I park in the shade whenever possible. But I live in cooler climate. I only will use the a/c for about four or five weeks per year.

Not a specific answer to your question but...

At an autox a few years back a co-competitor had a pyro with him and checked the temps of some car hoods in full sun, about a 80-85 degree day iirc.

My black cars hood was about 40 degrees hotter than his silver. I was amazed at that large of a difference.

Had both cars been sitting for the same period? Engine heat could account for some of that difference. However, silver being highly reflective, while black highly absorbive would obviously be hotter. If you wear a black golf shirt on a hot sunny day, compared to a white one you can feel the difference.
